TL;DR: The Cariaco Basin record exhibits strong correlations with climate records from distant regions, including the high-latitude Northern Hemisphere, providing evidence for global teleconnections among regional climates.

TL;DR: An emerging framework links the intertropical convergence zone to the atmospheric energy balance and may account for ITCZ variations on timescales from years to geological epochs.

TL;DR: Sedimentary time series of color reflectance and major element chemistry from the anoxic Cariaco Basin off the coast of northern Venezuela record large and abrupt shifts in the hydrologic cycle of the tropical Atlantic during the past 90,000 years, which supports the notion that tropical feedbacks played an important role in modulating global climate during the last glacial period.

TL;DR: In this paper, stable-isotope and carbonate sand-fraction records from Caribbean sediments were used to investigate the timing and consequences of the emergence of the Isthmus of Panama, which closed the seaway between the North andSouth American continents.

TL;DR: High-resolution records of the magnetic properties and the titanium content of the sediments of Lake Huguang Maar in coastal southeast China over the past 16,000 years are presented, using as proxies for the strength of the winter monsoon winds, to suggest that these migrations in the tropical rain belt could have contributed to the declines of both the Tang dynasty in China and the Classic Maya in Central America.
