Porewater salinity reveals past lake-level changes in Lake Van, the Earth’s largest soda lake

Abstract In closed-basin lakes, sediment porewater salinity can potentially be used as a conservative tracer to reconstruct past fluctuations in lake level. However, until now, porewater salinity profiles did not allow quantitative estimates of past lake-level changes because, in contrast to the oce...
