Climate Implications of the Messinian Salinity Crisis using the NCAR Community Atmosphere Model (CAM3.1)
The Messinian Salinity Crisis (MSC) occurred nearly 6 million years ago when the Mediterranean Sea (MS) was isolated from the Atlantic Ocean. High rates of evaporation and diminishing water input led to a 1500 -2500 m drop in MS level. In this study, four 20-year simulations are run using the NCAR CAM3 configured with the SOM. Two of the simulations are designed to represent specific events tha...
متن کاملMagmatic pulse driven by sea-level changes associated with the Messinian salinity crisis
Between 5 and 6 million years ago, during the so-called Messinian salinity crisis, the Mediterranean basin became a giant salt repository. The possibility of abrupt and kilometre-scale sea-level changes during this extreme event is debated. Messinian evaporites could signify either deep- or shallow-marine deposits, and ubiquitous erosional surfaces could indicate either subaerial or submarine f...
متن کاملSeagrass Radiation after Messinian Salinity Crisis Reflected by Strong Genetic Structuring and Out-of-Africa Scenario (Ruppiaceae)
Many aquatic plant and seagrass species are widespread and the origin of their continent-wide ranges might result from high gene flow levels. The response of species when extending northwards since the Last Glacial Maximum can be opposed to the structuring of their populations that survived glaciation cycles in southern regions. The peri-Mediterranean is a complex series of sea basins, coastlin...
متن کامل(hydrocharitaceae) Seagrass: Low Salinity Effects
Massive anthropogenic changes in estuarine salinities, from manipulations of freshwater flows, are again occurring through governmental projects ‘‘correcting’’ past freshwater alterations. The downstream effects of increased freshwater on seagrass meadows, a major fisheries and ecosystem habitat, are not clear. Spectral responses to low salinities were quantitatively delimited for the important...
متن کاملManagement scenarios for the Jordan River salinity crisis
Recent geochemical and hydrological findings show that the water quality of the base flow of the Lower Jordan River, between the Sea of Galilee and the Dead Sea, is dependent upon the ratio between surface water flow and groundwater discharge. Using water quality data, mass-balance calculations, and actual flow-rate measurements, possible management scenarios for the Lower Jordan River and thei...
