TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present magnetic susceptibility, pollen and organic carbon records from maar lake deposits in the Massif Central, France and find that they correlate well with the ice-core records during the last glacial.

TL;DR: This article reviewed terrestrial and near-shore marine records from equatorial and southern Africa between 30,000 and 10,000 years ago (30−10,000) to show how regional climates of the sub-continent have responded to orbital forcing as opposed to other global glacial-interglacial boundary conditions, and how they are related to high latitude climates, sea and land surface conditions, positions of the Intertropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ) and of the westerly belt.

TL;DR: In this paper, a detailed record of climate change in lowland equatorial Africa throughout the last deglaciation (12,800& ndash;10,000 14C yr BP) was presented based on analyses of diatom assemblages, geochemistry and magnetic mineralogy.

TL;DR: In this article, modern soil phytolith assemblages from sites over elevation gradients on Mount Kenya (Kenya), Mount Rungwe and around Lake Masoko (southern Tanzania) were compared with available botanical data.

TL;DR: In this paper, a model of basin formation and sediment accumulation for the Ziway-Shala lake basin system is presented to separate the effects of climatic change from environmental variations induced by local or regional factors such as volcano-tectonic forcings.
