Sebastian, first I suppose you have read my first comment just send 10 min. ago. After a quick look at your paper, and particularly the 2 main figures - very good. I just regreat that you have not repeated at right the chrono. because so one can add a strait red line trough your fig. for some particular date (as 1450 AD) because, as you known this date correspond to an abrupt drying of Lake Chad - however for this event, now I think it is related to huge volcanic event in Pacific (volcan Kuwaey). Moreover I have another question about my 2500 yr BP paper (QR, 2017) - I would be very glad if you can help me to obtain precise Temperature data from Antarctica (Ross, etc).

Maybe it could be interesting to observe these data because in my paper I related the 2500 BP crisis to a large warming event !

What do you think of all of that - and also the all QR, 2017, Maley & al. paper ? Avec mes cordiales salutations, Jean Maley

PS - maybe use this mail to answer
