New project funded

This project led by Christoph Spötl aims to reconstruct Namibia's climatic history over the last 400,000 years using speleothems from northern Namibia's caves. Specific objectives include (i) identifying the timing of major climate shifts, (ii) quantifying temperature and moisture variability during glacial and interglacial periods, and (iii) determining hemispheric climate linkages and drivers of aridity. This study will refine our understanding of the natural climate variability that shapes Namibia’s fragile environment, providing analogs for future climate scenarios.
