@univgroningen news! https://t.co/tBPFUkirmZ about our new @ScienceAdvances paper!

[Francesca Bulian @BulianFrancesca]

@danigeos Already decades ago, microfossils had hinted at this story. Now, by combining paleoclimate data, landscape models, and sediment records, the study offers a comprehensive view of this dynamic pre-megaflood phase and the freshwater reshaping of a salt giant.

PAPER! 🌊 Before the Atlantic megaflood, rivers & rain began refilling the desiccated Mediterranean—but sea levels oscillated by over a kilometre, driven by orbital climate cycles. This dynamic phase lasted 200,000+ years.

@danigeos 🌍 But it wasn’t a simple refill: Sea level oscillated by over a kilometre, driven by orbital cycles in Earth’s insolation. These shifts caused alternating wetter and drier phases, reshaping the landscape repeatedly over 200,000+ years.

☀️“Durante el aislamiento del Mediterráneo su nivel habría caído hasta dos kilómetros por debajo del actual, y entonces habría comenzado a oscilar por los cambios orbitales en la insolación de la Tierra”, explica Daniel G. Castellanos (@danigeos), investigador de @GEO3BCN_CSIC 👇

By the way, parts of this video were created by Manuel Mantero, who short after won the Oscar for FX - special effects

[Daniel García-Castellanos @danigeos]

Very happy to have this published today in @ScienceAdvances
We may have a detailed picture of how the Mediterranean level evolved.
