The desert that we see today in Arabia was once a region that repeatedly underwent 'green' periods in the past, as a result of periods of high rainfall, resulting in the formation of lakes and rivers around 9,000 years ago. #GreenArabia miragenews.com/unearthing-lus…

Fan data are often noisy, but taking into account depositional context and integrating multiple sites across a landscape helps refine their use as important terrestrial archives of Quaternary environmental change. Important in drylands often lacking high resolution proxies...

We also found evidence of depositional events during more arid periods, however sedimentary structures typically indicated flashier flow regimes as opposed to the large conglomerate deposits and bioturbated floodplains typically dating to wetter times...

Fans preserve older records than lakes in the region (sediments from which typically don't survive periods of intense aridity). They also record more periods of higher rainfall that are expected from Arabian Sea marine cores but are not captured in the region's speleothem...

Results show that Hajar alluvial systems provide long and sensitive records of increases in Indian Ocean Monsoon precipitation in line with precessional and eccentricity forcing over the last 400 ka...

We present luminescence ages from new sites across central and eastern alluvial fans in the Hajar Mountains, SE Arabia. Hierarchical clustering was then used to combine these new data with previous data for fan and lake deposition from the literature...
