Rapid termination of the African Humid Period triggered by northern high-latitude cooling

The rapidity and synchrony of the African Humid Period (AHP) termination at around 5.5 ka are debated, and it is unclear what caused a rapid hydroclimate response. Here we analysed the hydrogen isotopic composition of sedimentary leaf-waxes (δD(wax)) from the Gulf of Guinea, a proxy for regional pre...
