Intertropical convergence zone variability in the Neotropics during the Common Era (2020)
Journal Article
Asmerom, Y., Baldini, J., Prufer, K., Polyak, V., Ridley, H., Aquino, V., …Kennett, D. (2020). Intertropical convergence zone variability in the Neotropics during the Common Era. Science Advances, 6(7), Article eaax3644. https://doi.org/10.1126/sciadv.aax3644

Large changes in hydroclimate in the Neotropics implied by proxy evidence, such as during the Little Ice Age, have been attributed to meridional shifts of the intertropical convergence zone (ITCZ), although alternative modes of ITCZ variability have...
