«This cooling reduced precipitation over Africa, and in combination with a range of other complex climate feedback mechanisms tipped the humid system towards aridification,» explains the first author of the study, James Collins from Helmholtz Centre Potsdam — GFZ German Research Centre for Geosciences and Alfred Wegener Institute — Helmholtz Center for Polar and Marine Research (AWI) in Bremerhaven.
