Abstract:
Holocene Dead Sea and Late Pleistocene Lake Lisan. How to reconstructing lake levels from shore environment deposits (vs. paleolimnology of lake sediments that do not provide absolute levels). Modern hydroclimatology of the Dead Sea basin as a guide to interpreting past lake level rises and falls. Rainfall, runoff, and controlling atmospheric circulation over the basin. Implications to water resources in the Levant. The potential for connecting paleohydrology to palaeoclimatology through modern hydrology and synoptic-scale climatology. Other sources of moisture to the region.
