This interhemispheric atmospheric seesaw is thought to have caused global displacement of air masses, with presumably major impact on higher-latitude climates in the Southern Hemisphere<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="b8">8</xref><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="b9">9</xref> and global ocean circulation patterns<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="b2">2</xref><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="b10">10</xref><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="b11">11</xref>. To date however, it is unclear whether the evolution of Southern Hemisphere climates during the last glacial period was mainly driven by northern (via ITCZ latitudinal variations) and/or southern high-latitude climate forcing.</p><p>To provide new insights on this issue, we have analysed a well-dated<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="b12">12</xref> marine sediment core (MD03-2607; 36°57.64′S, 137°24.39′E; 865 m water depth) recovered from near the mouth of the River Murray, the end point of the Murray-Darling Basin (MDB), Australia’s largest river system (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="f1">Fig. 1</xref>). The MDB lies in the subtropical climate zone between about 25°S and 37°S, displaying a marked latitudinal gradient of contrasting geological and climatic settings. In the northern part of the basin (~25–32°S), an area with weak dominance of ITCZ-driven summer monsoon rainfall, the Darling River sub-basin drains large outcrops of Mesozoic and Cenozoic terrains. In contrast, the southern River Murray sub-basin (~32–37°S) is dominated by Palaeozoic rocks, and is more strongly influenced by winter precipitation associated with Southern Hemisphere westerly winds (SHWW). As a consequence, the use of geochemical proxies allowing discrimination between Darling <italic>versus</italic> Murray sources in sedimentary records of ancient MDB discharge can provide continuous and integrated information on past hydroclimate variability in subtropical Australia, and its potential link to ITCZ and SHWW strength and/or latitudinal shifts.</p><p>We reconstructed the composition of past sediment discharge using neodymium isotopic ratios (<sup>143</sup>Nd/<sup>144</sup>Nd, or ε<sub>Nd</sub> in epsilon notation), focusing on the fine-grained (<2 μm) clay-rich detrital fraction of the sediment. In addition to being exported from river basins with presumably minimum transfer time, clay-size fractions are also less prone than coarser sedimentary particles to mineralogical sorting and hence better suited for provenance studies, especially near upwind arid source areas. The three main potential contributors of fine-grained sediments to the studied site, i.e. the Darling River, the River Murray and southern Australian dust-source regions, are characterized by distinctive Nd isotopic signatures<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="b13">13</xref><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="b14">14</xref> (ε<sub>Nd</sub> = −2.4 ± 2.4, 1 SD; −9.5 ± 0.9 and −12.0 ± 2.9, respectively; <xref ref-type="fig" rid="f2">Fig. 2</xref>; <xref ref-type="supplementary-material" rid="S1">Table S1</xref>), which makes Nd isotopes particularly well-suited for provenance studies in this area (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="f1">Fig. 1</xref>). Neodymium isotopes remain largely unaffected by erosion and transport processes<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="b15">15</xref>, so that the average ε<sub>Nd</sub> composition of each potential provenance area is expected to have remained relatively unchanged over the last glacial period.</p><p>The ε<sub>Nd</sub> detrital record of core MD03-2607 indicates highly variable contributions from MDB sources and southern Australian dusts, starting, from about 86 to 68 thousand years before present (kyr BP), with a pronounced shift towards more radiogenic Nd isotopic compositions (from about ε<sub>Nd</sub> = −10 to −6; <xref ref-type="fig" rid="f2">Fig. 2</xref>). This trend reflects enhanced contribution from Darling river-borne material and reduced inputs from southern Australia dusts and/or River Murray particles. During that period, sea-level dropped by about 50 meters (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="f2">Fig. 2</xref>), resulting in a progressive ‘migration’ of the proximity of the studied area to the Murray mouth, and producing a more efficient sediment transfer from the MDB to site MD03-2607 (ref. <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="b16">16</xref>). An inverse trend from ε<sub>Nd</sub> ~−5 to −13 also characterizes the last deglaciation period at the nearby site MD03-2611 (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="f2">Fig. 2</xref>), coinciding with an almost 90-m steep sea-level rise between ~17 and 9 kyr BP and also interpreted in terms of overwhelming contribution of aeolian dust particles relative to riverine detrital inputs from the MDB (ref. <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="b16">16</xref>). Overall, the observed ε<sub>Nd</sub> trend between about 90 and 20 ka correlates well with palaeoprecipitation records for the tropical western Pacific region<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="b5">5</xref><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="b17">17</xref><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="b18">18</xref><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="b19">19</xref> (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="f3">Fig. 3a</xref>,b,c). Rainfall patterns in the tropics are strongly controlled by the position and intensity of the ITCZ, which varies on seasonal timescales from north to south of the Equator (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="f1">Fig. 1</xref>). During the last ice age, large southward ITCZ migrations have accompanied both the onset of MIS-4 and the abrupt millennial-scale HS events<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="b20">20</xref>. In the northwest Pacific region, these ITCZ shifts are illustrated by abrupt drops in precipitation recorded both by Borneo speleothems<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="b5">5</xref> (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="f1">Fig. 1</xref>; <xref ref-type="fig" rid="f3">Fig. 3a</xref>) and, farther south (~3°S), at the northern Papua New Guinea (PNG) margin (site MD05-2920; <xref ref-type="fig" rid="f1">Fig. 1</xref>), as inferred from substantial decreases of sedimentary Ti/K ratios during HS-3-6-7b events<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="b17">17</xref><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="b18">18</xref> (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="f3">Fig. 3b</xref>). At site MD05-2920, Ti/K ratios have been interpreted as a proxy for the presence of coarse-grained river-borne terrigenous material, presumably increasing during past wet periods when intensifying rainfall caused more intense erosion and export of coarser-grained riverine particles to the ocean, and vice versa<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="b18">18</xref>. For the same time intervals, foraminifera trace element proxy data suggest episodes of enhanced river discharge in southern PNG (~9°S; <xref ref-type="fig" rid="f1">Fig. 1</xref>). The use of Nd/Ca ratios in planktonic foraminifera at this latter southern PNG site (MD05-2925; <xref ref-type="fig" rid="f3">Fig. 3c</xref>), taken as an indicator for the intensity of REE-rich dissolved riverine inputs from Papua New Guinean rivers, shows that the sudden drops in precipitation recorded at Borneo and northern PNG were accompanied by more intense rainfall in the southerly tropical regions<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="b19">19</xref>. This pattern agrees well with results obtained from dust flux reconstructions in the central equatorial Pacific<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="b21">21</xref>, which provide evidence for a major latitudinal shift of the ITCZ by at least 4 degrees in this area during an earlier HS event. Within the uncertainties of dating (see <xref ref-type="supplementary-material" rid="S1">Supplementary Information</xref>), our ε<sub>Nd</sub> provenance profile for palaeo-MDB sediments matches remarkably well with the southern PNG river-discharge record. In core MD03-2607, the periods of HS events and glacial maxima (Marine Isotope Stage 4 and MIS-2) correspond to more radiogenic ε<sub>Nd</sub> signatures (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="f3">Fig. 3d</xref>), indicating enhanced sediment input from the Darling River watershed. While a reduction in SHWW in the River Murray sub-basin could possibly account for the observed trend, the good agreement between MDB and southern PNG proxy records seems more consistent with southward ITCZ migrations leading to intensifying rainfall in the northern Darling River sub-basin relative to the southern MDB area.</p><p>Our proxy data are also consistent with palaeoclimatic records for Australian lakes<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="b22">22</xref><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="b23">23</xref><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="b24">24</xref> (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="f3">Fig. 3e</xref>). The palaeoshoreline reconstruction of Lake Eyre, the largest central Australia inland basin draining summer-monsoon-fed watersheds (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="f1">Fig. 1</xref>), indicate a trend towards generally dryer conditions since the last interglacial (MIS-5) period, punctuated with alternating periods of high and low (or dry) lake levels<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="b22">22</xref>. Lake Frome, a separate depocentre of the same basin, also displays some high lake shorelines, though not always synchronous with Lake Eyre levels<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="b23">23</xref>. Despite the paucity of dates and the poor constraints on the timing of upper and lower boundaries of wet/dry lake phases (inherent to low-precision luminescence-derived chronologies), the presumed periods of high lake stands are consistent with inferred episodes of southward ITCZ migrations, as far as about 32°S south (i.e. the boundary between the two Darling and Murray sub-basins), and associated shifts towards more radiogenic ε<sub>Nd</sub> signatures recorded at site MD03-2607.</p><p>In contrast to the abrupt seesaw-like tropical precipitation records of Borneo during HS events, the ε<sub>Nd</sub> profile for MDB sediment provenance suggests instead a more gradual evolution of rainfall in subtropical Australia. In particular, the ε<sub>Nd</sub> shifts towards more radiogenic values associated with every major southward excursions of the ITCZ appear to have started earlier, and persisted later, than the corresponding HS events as recorded in Borneo (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="f4">Fig. 4</xref>). There are clear inherent uncertainties when establishing the chronostratigraphy of marine sediment cores beyond the limit of radiocarbon (~50 kyr BP), which prevent any detailed comparison with more precise U-Th-dated speleothem records. In addition, possible temporal biases in our detrital ε<sub>Nd</sub> record may exist due to temporary sediment storage within the drainage basin and/or post-depositional bioturbation effect. Nevertheless, bearing in mind these potential limitations, the relatively good agreement observed between our ε<sub>Nd</sub> profile and PNG river-discharge/Australian lake records still suggests that wet episodes in late glacial Australia lasted substantially longer (between ~3 to >5 ka each, as visually estimated from both MD03-2607 and palaeolake data<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="b22">22</xref><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="b23">23</xref><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="b24">24</xref>) than the average duration of the southward ITCZ migrations associated with HS events (<2 ka; as inferred from Borneo<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="b5">5</xref> and Chinese<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="b6">6</xref> cave monsoon records; <xref ref-type="fig" rid="f4">Fig. 4</xref>). All the above suggests therefore that rainfall patterns in subtropical Australia during the last glacial period were modulated by additional mechanisms, rather than being simply driven by ITCZ-driven Northern Hemisphere forcing.</p><p>In fact, our ε<sub>Nd</sub> proxy record for hydroclimate variability in Australia also exhibits strong similarities with the late glacial evolution of Antarctic temperatures<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="b25">25</xref> (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="f4">Fig. 4d</xref>), hence suggesting a possible link to southern high-latitude forcing. Except for MIS-4, the most radiogenic ε<sub>Nd</sub> values observed between 35 and 65 kyr BP (i.e. indicative of higher sediment contributions from the Darling River and tributaries relative to the River Murray sub-basin) appear to coincide with the warm phases recorded in Antarctic ice-cores that followed the onset of HS events (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="f4">Fig. 4d</xref>). Antarctic climate variability over the last ice age is thought to have been closely connected to Northern Hemisphere forcing too, with gradual warming periods being generally attributed to enhanced heat storage in the Southern Hemisphere, in response to AMOC collapse during HS events and other abrupt cold stadials<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="b3">3</xref>. During these periods, Antarctic warming may have also been promoted through atmospheric teleconnections, via ITCZ-driven southward shifts of the SHWW belt<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="b2">2</xref><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="b10">10</xref>. In turn, the evolution of Antarctic climate during the last ice age most probably played a major role in controlling the position of the Subtropical Front in the Southern Ocean<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="b26">26</xref>, with presumably direct impact on the position/intensity of SHWW and associated rainfall. This complex interhemispheric interplay is illustrated by a δ<sup>18</sup>O stalagmite record from New Zealand’s South Island (~42°S)<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="b9">9</xref>, which reveals that wet periods in the Southern Hemisphere mid-latitudes prevailed at times of southward ITCZ migrations, but also when cooler conditions in Antarctica led to northward shifts of the STF and strengthening of the SHWW (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="f4">Fig. 4c</xref>). Previous studies have already argued for a connection between high-latitude climate changes in the Southern Hemisphere and the hydrologic evolution of monsoon-dominated regions during the Late Quaternary period<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="b7">7</xref><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="b27">27</xref><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="b28">28</xref><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="b29">29</xref>. Using high-resolution elemental profiles in a series of sediment cores from the Timor Sea, Kuhn <italic>et al</italic>. (ref. <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="b27">27</xref>) proposed that the onset of Antarctic warming that followed the HS1 climate event led to a southward shift of the ITCZ over northwestern Australia. A detailed comparison of the climate variability recorded in the Hulu Cave and polar ice-cores also led Rohling <italic>et al</italic>. (ref. <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="b28">28</xref>) to suggest that millennial-scale monsoon variability was dominated by Southern Hemisphere climate change during glacial times, when monsoon was weak overall. Taken together, the above-mentioned studies provide support that the late glacial hydroclimate variability of subtropical Australia, as inferred from our ε<sub>Nd</sub> profile for core MD03-2607, was probably driven by combined influences of both northern- (via ITCZ) and southern (via SHWW) high-latitude forcings. For instance, it is possible that the poleward shifts of the Subtropical Front during warm periods in Antarctica, which led to temporary southward atmospheric displacement of the SHWW belt, also acted as a factor delaying the contemporaneous northward retreat of the ITCZ. Alternatively, enhanced greenhouse forcing associated with the episodic rises of atmospheric CO<sub>2</sub> that accompanied the Antarctic warming phases could have resulted in enhanced heat low-pressure cells over Australia, thereby accentuating the southward ‘pull’ of the ITCZ across the SH mid-latitudes<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="b27">27</xref>. While the exact mechanism remains elusive, these interactions between northern and southern high-latitude climates most likely drove important fluctuations of interhemispheric temperature/pressure gradients<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="b28">28</xref>, which may have resulted in protracted rainfall episodes in the Southern Hemisphere subtropical regions during the last glacial period.</p><sec disp-level="1"><title>Methods</title><sec disp-level="2"><title>Chemical preparation and Nd isotope analyses</title><p>The detailed description of chemical preparation and analytical methods can be found elsewhere<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="b15">15</xref>. Briefly, about 3 g of bulk sediment were treated successively with 10% (v/v) acetic acid (AA), mixed 15% (v/v) AA and 0.05 M hydroxylamine hydrochloride (HH), and 5% hydrogen peroxide (H<sub>2</sub>O<sub>2</sub>) solutions, in order to remove any carbonate, Fe-Mn oxyhydroxide and organic components, respectively. The sequential leaching procedure used in this study was developed to minimize partial dissolution of the silicate component<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="b30">30</xref>. Recent work has shown however that easily alterable silicate minerals such as fresh volcanic components could undergo partial dissolution with the use of mixed AA-HH solutions<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="b31">31</xref>. In the case of our study, one cannot exclude that a minor proportion of the volcanogenic component hosted by Darling River-borne sediments dissolved during our second leaching step. Considering a simple mixing model between various proportions of Darling- versus Murray-borne sediments, and assuming arbitrarily that 10% of the Darling sediment endmember dissolved during the AA + HH leaching phase, the obtained Nd isotope composition of the resulting mixed sediment would be biased towards Murray endmember by less than 0.5 ε<sub>Nd</sub> units. Importantly, this bias, while being proportional to the proportion of Darling River sediment, would not affect the observed downcore trend for Nd isotopes, and hence the conclusions of our study.</p><p>Clay-size fractions (about <2 μm) were then separated from the residual detritus by centrifugation. For Nd isotopic analyses, about 100 mg of clay-size sediment powder were digested by alkaline fusion. Neodymium isotopic measurements were performed at the Pôle Spectrométrie Océan (Brest, France) using a Thermo Scientific Neptune multi-collector ICPMS, after Nd purification by conventional ion chromatography. Mass bias corrections on Nd were made with the exponential law, using <sup>146</sup>Nd/<sup>144</sup>Nd = 0.7219, and <sup>143</sup>Nd/<sup>144</sup>Nd corrected values were normalized to a JNdi-1 value of <sup>143</sup>Nd/<sup>144</sup>Nd = 0.512115. Repeated analyses of a JNdi-1 standard solution during the two measurement sessions of this study gave <sup>143</sup>Nd/<sup>144</sup>Nd of 0.512106 ± 0.000005 (2 SD, n = 22) and 0.512121 ± 0.000009 (2 SD, n = 33), hence corresponding to an external reproducibility of ~ ± 0.10ε and ± 0.17ε (2 SD), respectively (<xref ref-type="supplementary-material" rid="S1">Table S1</xref>).
