TL;DR: 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 as mentioned in this paper.

TL;DR: A 5000-year regional paleoflood chronology, based on flood deposits from 19 rivers in Arizona and Utah, reveals that the largest floods in the region cluster into distinct time intervals that coincide with periods of cool, moist climate and frequent El Ni�o events.

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.

TL;DR: In this article, a framework of eastern Mediterranean atmospheric circulation features interacting with the morphology and location of the southeast Mediterranean coast is proposed to explain the much-increased rains in Lebanon and northern Israel and Jordan as deduced from pollen, rise and maintenance of Lake Lisan, and speleothem formation in areas currently arid and semiarid.

TL;DR: In this article, a detailed lake-level history of the closed Lake Lisan (paleo-dead Sea) in the Middle East has been reconstructed from shoreline indications and high resolution U-Th and 1 4 C chronologies, thus providing data on the response of the lake's catchment area to the climate changes during the corresponding period.
