  abstract = {{T}his study presents the first well-dated high resolution stable isotope (delta {O}-18 and delta {C}-13) and trace element ({M}g and {S}r) speleothem records from southwestern {M}orocco covering the last 1000 yrs. {O}ur records reveal substantial decadal to multidecadal swings between dry and humid periods, consistent with regional paleorecords with prevailing dry conditions during the {M}edieval {C}limate {A}nomaly ({MCA}), wetter conditions during the second part of the {L}ittle {I}ce {A}ge ({LIA}), and a trend towards dry conditions during the current warm period. {T}hese coherent regional climate signals suggest common climate controls. {S}tatistical analyses indicate that the climate of southwestern {M}orocco remained under the combined influence of both the {N}orth {A}tlantic {O}scillation ({NAO}) and the {A}tlantic {M}ultidecadal {O}scillation ({AMO}) over the last millennium. {I}nterestingly, the generally warmer {MCA} and colder {LIA} at longer multidecadal timescales probably influenced the regional climate in {N}orth {A}frica through the influence on {S}ahara {L}ow which weakened and strengthened the mean moisture inflow from the {A}tlantic {O}cean during the {MCA} and {LIA} respectively.},
