Despite widespread use of branched glycerol dialkyl glycerol tetraethers (brGDGTs) for
paleo-temperature reconstruction, no global calibration for their application in lakes has …

The laminated sequences of the Holocene Dead Sea (DS) and its late Pleistocene precursor
Lake Lisan comprise primary aragonite and fine detritus that record the hydro-climate …

Seawater reverse osmosis (SWRO) is becoming an increasingly important source of potable
water in arid and semi-arid regions worldwide. Discharge of brine-effluent from desalination …

Salinity is a major limiting factor for the proliferation of plants and inhibits central metabolic
activities such as photosynthesis. The halotolerant green alga Dunaliella can adapt to …

The effect of sudden salinity increases on the kinetics of growth and carotenogenesis was
studied in three geographically diverse isolates of Dunaliella saliva. A sudden increase in …

The three approaches to defining pH scales for use in sea water: the NBS scale, the pH
(SWS) or 'total'hydrogen ion concentration scale and the 'free'hydrogen ion concentration …

In this study we investigated the relations between community calcification of an entire coral
reef in the northern Red Sea and annual changes in temperature, aragonite saturation and …

Waters in modern evaporite systems are marine, non‐marine, or hybrid but mineralogies in
most ancient systems are not so simple that marine and non‐marine brines can be easily …

Abstract Badain Jaran Desert (BJD), characterized by extremely arid climate and tallest sand
dunes in the world, is the second largest desert in China. Surprisingly, there are a large …

A boron isotope study combined with analyses of elemental boron, lithium, and chlorine is
used to suggest that brines from the Dead Sea and on-shore hypersaline thermal springs …
