Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
According to the recent IPCC report, Africa is one of the most vulnerable continents to future climate change, with widespread and uncertain impacts on African environments and society, making the need to better understand the African environmental system clear. As a contribution towards a better understanding of the past and future of African environments, this Special Issue aims to compile studies about climate and environmental variabilities throughout Africa on various time scales, in the present, past, and future. We invite studies from marine and continental records, using any kind of archive and proxy data, such as sedimentological records, tree rings, speleothems, ice cores, fossil pollen, and modern monitoring data and modeling studies.
