What this study does
The study integrates high-resolution seismic stratigraphy with sediment-core proxies to trace major lake-level, sedimentological and climatic changes in eastern Anatolia.
Main finding
The record captures large Late Pleistocene lake-level changes and later transgression, together with signals associated with millennial-scale climate variability including Dansgaard–Oeschger and Heinrich-type events.
When this paper may be useful
- Lake-level and palaeoenvironment reconstruction
- Combining seismic stratigraphy and sediment cores
- Late Pleistocene–Holocene climate in eastern Anatolia
- Regional expression of millennial-scale climate events
