Geomorphological dynamics at the coast
During the early Holocene, rapid sea level rise led to the inundation of worldwide coastal areas, with the surrounding shallow landscapes being the most affected. The Carmel coast, located in the East Mediterranean, preserves a rich record of such a submerged landscape dotted by many archaeological sites, including the well-preserved Atlit-Yam village (Neolithic), which is currently buried and submerged at 8-11 m water depth. In order to reconstr…
Hydroclimate variability and human influence in southern Yemen over the past 1100 years
We present the first subfossil chironomid record from the Arabian Peninsula from a sediment core from Lake Gayal el Bazal, southeastern Yemen, providing insights into hydrological changes over the last ~1100 years. Shallow-water chironomid morphotypes, Dicrotendipes nervosus -type and Polypedilum nubeculosum -type, indicating low lake levels and productive habitats with abundant macrophyte cover, suggest two dry intervals between ca. 1575 and 167…
Late glacial and Holocene climate records from the Southern Hemisphere
Tectono-sedimentary evolution of a marginal fault
North Atlantic controlled depositional cycles in MIS 5e layered sediments from the deep Dead Sea basin
The drilled Inter-Continental Drilling Project core at the deeps of the Dead Sea reveals thick sequences of halite deposits from the last interglacial period, reflecting prevailing arid conditions in the lake’s watershed. Here, we examine sequences of intercalating evaporates (halite or gypsum) and fine-detritus laminae and apply petrographic, micro-X-ray fluorescence, and statistical tools to establish in high-temporal resolution the hydroclimat…
Anthropogenic overprints on natural coastal aeolian sediments
Evidences for centennial dry periods at ~3300 and ~2800 cal. yr BP from micro-facies analyses of the Dead Sea sediments
Laminated lake sediments from the Dead Sea basin provide high-resolution records of climatic variability in the eastern Mediterranean region, which is especially sensitive to changing climatic conditions. In this study, we aim on detailed reconstruction of climatic fluctuations and related changes in the frequency of flood and dust deposition events at ca. 3300 and especially at 2800 cal. yr BP from high-resolution sediment records of the Dead Se…
A Holocene record of snow-avalanche and flood activity reconstructed from a lacustrine sedimentary sequence in Oldevatnet, western Norway
Two lacustrine sediment cores from Oldevatnet in western Norway have been studied in order to produce a record of floods, mass-wasting events and glacier fluctuations during the last 7300 years. River floods, density currents and snow-avalanches have deposited distinct ‘event layers’ at the lake floor throughout this time interval. In this study, a novel approach has been applied to distinguish event layers from the continuous background sediment…
Stratigraphy, depositional environments and level reconstruction of the last interglacial Lake Samra in the Dead Sea basin
In this paper we describe the stratigraphy and sediments deposited in Lake Samra that occupied the Dead Sea basin between ∼ 135 and 75 ka. This information is combined with U/Th dating of primary aragonites in order to estimate a relative lake-level curve that serves as a regional paleohydrological monitor. The lake stood at an elevation of ∼ 340 m below mean sea level (MSL) during most of the last interglacial. This level is relatively higher th…
