Evolution of the Dead Sea brine during the last glacial cycle from chemical compositions of interstitial soluble salts in sedimentary sections

DOI

This data set provides temporal variations in the Na/Cl, Mg/Cl, Br/Cl, and Br/Mg ratios of the deep (hypolimnion) and the overlying (epilimnion) brines of Lake Lisan that filled the Dead Sea Basin between ~100-13 ka period were retrieved from soluble salts within the lake's sediments. The soluble salts were extracted from cores drilled in the Dead Sea deep and shallow DSDDP cores numbers 5017-1-A and 5017-3-C, respectively, and from the Marginal outcrops of the Lisan Fm. exposed in the Perazim Valley (section PZ-1) and the White Hill (section GL-1). The ages from cores 5017-1-A and the marginal exposure of the White Hill section GL-1 were calculated using the relevant Time-Depth models. All the data are presented in Suppl. Table 1 to Suppl. Table 6. Suppl. Table 2 contains data from Levy et al., 2017.
