New paper published in Earth and Planetary Science Letters

The latest paper by postdoc Yin Lu, just published in EPSL, unravels a 220kyr-spanning event-stratigraphic record of the hypersaline Dead Sea to reconstruct different behavior of sediment density flows (overflows and underflows) during interglacials and glacials, respectively. Climate change is inferred to have affected the flows via changing salinity-density profile of lake brine.
