Description:
Article Predicting future migrations in the Intertropical Convergence Zone—Earth's heaviest rain belt—is limited by a lack of long-term records. Here, the authors present a 282 kyr precipitation record from the Papua New Guinea coast and show that obliquity forcing plays a more important role than previously recognized.
