Stratigraphic record reveals contrasting roles of overflows and underflows over glacial cycles in a hypersaline lake (Dead Sea)

• We link homogeneous muds to overflows and turbidites debrites underflows. Overflows are more dominent in interglacials, underflows prominent glacials. Climate change affected the flows via changing salinity-density profile of lake brine. In lakes oceans, links between modern sediment density flow processes deposits preserved long-term geological records poorly understood. Consequently, it is unclear whether, if so how, climate changes affect magnitude/frequency flows. One approach answering this question analyze a comprehensive record that comprises can be reliably linked processes. To address question, we investigated unique ICDP Core 5017-1 from Dead Sea (the largest deepest hypersaline on Earth) depocenter covering MIS 7-1. Based an understanding lake, core (surface flood plumes, ρ < water ), graded ( > ). Our dataset reveals (1) during while glacials; (2) orbital-scale salinity brine, lake-level, source materials.
