Co-variations of climate and silicate weathering in the Nile Basin during the Late Pleistocene

Co-variations of climate and silicate weathering in the Nile Basin during the Late Pleistocene

We have investigated provenance and weathering proxies of the clay-size sediment exported from the Nile River basin over the last 110,000 years. Using neodymium isotope composition of sediments from both the Nile Deep Sea-Fan and Lake Tana, we show that the Nile River branches draining the Ethiopian...
