Continental-scale temperature variability during the past two millennia

Moinuddin Ahmed, +86 more
- 21 Apr 2013 - 
TL;DR: The authors reconstructed past temperatures for seven continental-scale regions during the past one to two millennia and found that the most coherent feature in nearly all of the regional temperature reconstructions is a long-term cooling trend, which ended late in the nineteenth century.
Journal ArticleDOI

Climatic change recorded in the sediments of the Chew Bahir basin, southern Ethiopia, during the last 45,000 years

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present results from a pilot core from the Chew Bahir basin in southern Ethiopia that records the climatic history of the past 45-ka, with emphasis on the African Humid Period (AHP).
Journal ArticleDOI

Groundwater origin and flow along selected transects in Ethiopian rift volcanic aquifers

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the relationship between the high rainfall plateau bounding the rift and the rift valley aquifers, and found that up to 50% of recharge to the rift aquifer comes from the plateau as groundwater inflow where the rift is cross cut by transverse fault zones.
Journal ArticleDOI

Temperature variability over Africa during the last 2000 years

TL;DR: A growing number of proxy, historical and instrumental data sets are now available from continental Africa through which past variations in temperature can be assessed as discussed by the authors, and they can be used to assess past changes in temperature.
