| We present high-resolution records for oxygen isotopes of the planktic foraminifer Globigerinoides ruber (delta O-18(ruber)) and bulk sediment inorganic geochemistry for Holocene-age sediments from the southeast Mediterranean. Our delta O-18(ruber) record appears to be dominated by Nile discharge rather than basin-scale salinity/temperature changes. Nile discharge was enhanced in the early to middle Holocene relative to today. The timing of the long-term maximum in Nile discharge during the early Holocene corresponds to the timing of maximum intensity of the Indian Ocean-influenced Southwest Indian summer monsoon (SIM). This coincidence suggests a major influence of an Indian Ocean moisture source on Nile discharge in the early to middle Holocene, while,... |
