Disentangling seasonal and annual precipitation signals in the tropics over the Holocene: Insights from δD, alkanes and GDGTs

Rainfall seasonality in the tropics has a substantial impact on both ecosystems and human livelihoods. Yet, reconstructions of past rainfall variabili…

3/ Our results give also insight towards interpretation of speleothem isotope records.

/2 microbial GDGTs (not used for temperature this time!), molecular markers for biomass burning, and climate modeling, allowing to disentangle the influence of mean annual precipitation and its seasonality. Orbital forcing is clear driver.
