  <Summary>
    <Abstract>The position of the Intertropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ) is sensitive to changes in the balance of heat between the hemispheres, which has fundamental implications for tropical hydrology and atmospheric circulation. Although the ITCZ is thought to experience the largest shifts in position during deglacial stadial events, the magnitude of shifts has proven difficult to reconstruct, in part because of a paucity of high-resolution records, particularly those including spatial components. Here, we track the position of the ITCZ from 150-110 ka at three sites in the central equatorial Pacific at sub-millennial time resolution. Our results provide the first evidence of large, abrupt changes in tropical climate during the penultimate deglaciation, coincident with North Atlantic Heinrich Stadial 11 (~136-129 ka). We identify this event both as a northern hemisphere increase in aeolian dust and as a shift in the mean position of the ITCZ a minimum of four degrees southwards at 160°W. 
          STUDY NOTES: 230Thxs,0-normalized 232Th fluxes converted to dust fluxes; Note: Age-depth relationships for cores ML1208-37BB, 31BB and 17PC were developed on the basis of planktonic oxygen isotope stratigraphies (dataset: noaa-ocean-1001374), which were tied to the LR04 benthic stack with the assistance of a modified Monte-Carlo-enabled cross-correlation maximization scheme and random walk algorithm (MonteXCM).
