Mediterranean sapropels are layers with elevated organic carbon concentrations that
contrast with surrounding sediments, which are organic poor. Sapropels occur (quasi-) …

This paper presents a review of bulk compositional data of northern African dust and its
potential source sediments and includes elemental, isotope and mineralogical data …

Dust storms, produced by the removal of surface materials from the world's drylands, are a
vital component of the environment. This is because of their role in biogeochemical cycling …

Continental dust transported through the atmosphere can be a tracer of atmospheric
circulation and transport, as well as being a source of information about climate in the dust's …

We present a 3 million year record of aeolian dust supply into the eastern Mediterranean
Sea, based on hematite contents derived from magnetic properties of sediments from Ocean …

Multiproxy analyses were performed on core MS27PT recovered in hemipelagic sediments
deposited on the Nile margin in order to reconstruct Nile River palaeohydrological …

The radiogenic isotopic composition of both detrital and Fe–Mn fractions in marine
sediments can be used in paleoceanography to infer changes of bottom-water circulation …

Extremely high sediment accumulation rates in the southeastern (SE) Mediterranean off
Israel make this region ideal for high-resolution paleoceanographic reconstructions. Two …

We trace compositional changes of Nile sediments for 7400 km, from their sources in
equatorial rift highlands of Burundi and Rwanda to their sink in the Mediterranean Sea. All …

The provenance pattern of Nile River sediments can be used as a proxy for paleoclimatic
changes in East Africa. The 87Sr/86Sr ratios are particularly appropriate for such …
