Parasites, paleoclimate and the peopling of the Americas: using the hookworm to time the Clovis migration
(University of Chicago, 2020)
Modern drought conditions in western Sahel unprecedented in the past 1600 years
(Springer, 2019)
As climate model uncertainties remain very large for future rainfall in the Sahel, a multi-centennial perspective is required to assess the situation of current Sahel climate in the context of global warming. We present ...
Early Holocene greening of the Sahara requires Mediterranean winter rainfall
(National Academy of Sciences, 2021)
The greening of the Sahara, associated with the African Humid Period (AHP) between ca. 14,500 and 5,000 y ago, is arguably the largest climate-induced environmental change in the Holocene; it is usually explained by the ...
Efficiency of protected areas in Amazon and Atlantic Forest conservation: A spatio-temporal view
(2018-02-01)
The Amazon and Atlantic Forest are considered the world's most biodiverse biomes. Human and climate change impacts are the principal drivers of species loss in both biomes, more severely in the Atlantic Forest. In response ...
Dust fluxes and iron fertilization in Holocene and Last Glacial Maximum climates
(Amer Geophysical Union, 2015)
Mineral dust aerosols play a major role in present and past climates. To date, we rely on climate
models for estimates of dust fluxes to calculate the impact of airborne micronutrients on
biogeochemical cycles. Here we ...
