Journal ArticleDOI
Mantle plumes and episodic crustal growth
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors show that Earth history is punctuated by episodes of enhanced exchange between the lower and upper mantle, which replenishes the upper mantle with trace elements, and also causes rapid growth of continental crust.
Journal ArticleDOI
Long-term earthquake clustering: A 50,000-year paleoseismic record in the Dead Sea Graben
TL;DR: In this article, the temporal distribution of earthquakes in the Dead Sea Graben is studied through a 50,000-year paleoseismic record recovered in laminated sediments of the Late Pleistocene Lake Lisan (paleo-dead Sea).
Journal ArticleDOI
Holocene climate variability and cultural evolution in the Near East from the Dead Sea sedimentary record
TL;DR: In this article, a comprehensive record of lake level changes in the Dead Sea has been reconstructed using multiple, well-drained sediment cores recovered from the dead Sea shore, interpreted as monitors of precipitation in the drainage area and the regional eastern Mediterranean palaeoclimate.
Journal ArticleDOI
Lake Levels and Sequence Stratigraphy of Lake Lisan, the Late Pleistocene Precursor of the Dead Sea
TL;DR: In this article, the authors determined the water level of Lake Lisan, the late Pleistocene precursor of the Dead Sea, by mapping offshore, nearshore, and fan-delta sediments; by application of sequence stratigraphy methods; and by dating with radiocarbon and U-series methods.
Journal ArticleDOI
From plume head to continental lithosphere in the Arabian–Nubian shield
TL;DR: In this article, the authors show that the transformation from plume head to continental lithosphere has been an important component of continent generation throughout Earth history, suggesting that an oceanic plateau formed by the head of an upwelling mantle plume was later overprinted with continent-like characteristics by plate convergence and its associated magmatism.
