Lake levels and sequence stratigraphy of Lake Lisan, the late Pleistocene precursor of the Dead Sea
Lake Lisan, the late Pleistocene precursor of the Dead Sea, existed from∼ 70,000 to 15,000
yr BP It evolved through frequent water-level fluctuations, which reflected the regional …

Late Holocene climates of the Near East deduced from Dead Sea level variations and modern regional winter rainfall
The Dead Sea is a terminal lake of one of the largest hydrological systems in the Levant and
may thus be viewed as a large rain gauge for the region. Variations of its level are indicative …

Recurrence pattern of Holocene earthquakes along the Dead Sea transform revealed by varve-counting and radiocarbon dating of lacustrine sediments
A high-resolution Holocene seismic history of the Dead Sea Transform (DST) is established
from laminated sedimentary cores recovered at the shores of the Dead Sea. Radiocarbon …
