Half-precessional solar insolation and the long-term climate history of equatorial East Africa
REFNo: NS121ES

The main objective of this project is to constrain the area of East Africa which has experienced a truly low-latitude climate history influenced primarily by long-term trends in local solar insolation, rather than by the influence of changes in the extent of Northern Hemisphere glaciation. Our working hypothesis is that this area is limited to the region where rainfall originates predominantly from the Indian Ocean rather than the tropical Atlantic Ocean.
