Relation between century-scale Holocene arid intervals in tropical and temperate zones

Climate records from lake sediments in tropical Africa, central America and west Asia show several century-scale arid intervals during the Holocene. A lake-sediment record from the montane Mediterranean zone of Morocco was used to address the question of whether these events were also felt in temper...

Description
Summary:	Climate records from lake sediments in tropical Africa, central America and west Asia show several century-scale arid intervals during the Holocene. A lake-sediment record from the montane Mediterranean zone of Morocco was used to address the question of whether these events were also felt in temperate continental regions.
