Settling dust sources: Clay minerals, 87 Sr/ 86 Sr and εNd in Petra (Jordan) and the northern Negev (Israel) regions point to the importance of local sources
The Sahara and Arabian deserts are traditionally thought to be the source of settled dust in the Middle East. Although there have been suggestions of evidence for contributions from local sources, isotopic and clay mineral data have not yet confirmed this. The current study adds the neodymium and strontium isotopic signals as well as the mineralogical composition of the clay fraction to earlier investigations of trapped Holocene eolian sediments …
Late Holocene hydroclimatic history of the Galilee Mountains from sedimentary records of the Sea of Galilee, Israel
Detrital sediments of the Sea of Galilee are predominantly pedogenic products of settled dust and local bedrocks transported from Upper Galilee and the Golan Heights. Using the mineralogy, chemistry, and Nd and Sr isotope ratios of the core LK12-22 collected offshore of the Ginosar valley and of contemporaneous soils from the Nahal Tzalmon and Nahal Amud catchments, we reconstructed Late Holocene regional hydroclimate. The core samples span ɛ Nd …
The interplay between relative sea-level rise and sediment supply at the distal part of the Nile littoral cell
During Holocene sea-level rise, coastal areas became transitional environments as marine incursion covered the land. Changing conditions resulted in dynamic depositional environments that recorded the migration and stabilization of modern shorelines. These processes are viewed in the Zevulun Plain (Haifa Bay, Israel) record located in the northern edge of the Nile littoral cell. Sedimentological and palaeontological analyses combined with dating …
Sand dunes as a major proximal dust source for late Pleistocene loess in the Negev Desert, Israel
Grain size analyses of three hilltop, primary eolian loess sequences in the Negev desert, southern Israel, show a bimodal grain-size distribution at 50–60 μm and 3–8 μm. Using analyses of mineralogy and OSL ages we demonstrate that the coarse mode is composed mostly of quartz grains and its relative magnitude increases regionally with time, suggesting an enhancement of a time-transgressive proximal dust source compared to a distal, Saharan fine-g…
High-Resolution Holocene Environmental Changes in the Thar Desert, Northwestern India
Sediments from Lunkaransar dry lake in northwestern India reveal regional water table and lake level fluctuations over decades to centuries during the Holocene that are attributed to changes in the southwestern Indian monsoon rains. The lake levels were very shallow and fluctuated often in the early Holocene and then rose abruptly around 6300 carbon-14 years before the present ( 14 C yr B.P.). The lake completely desiccated around 4800 14 C yr B.…
