Come see!

Fundamentally unchanged northwestern African rainfall regimes across the Plio-Pleistocene transition The northern African summer monsoon was unaffected by global cooling at the end of the Pliocene 3 million years ago.

New Science Advances paper on Plio-Pleistocene northern African hydroclimate! Tl;dr the wet summer monsoon = summer insolation & the dry winter monsoon = global ice volume

Paper here (www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...), Brown press release here (www.brown.edu/news/2025-06...)
