Diatoms and paleosalinity in Lake Van during MIS5e and MIS7e

Our recent reconstruction of paleosalinity (and the related lake levels) using the diatom record from Lake Van is available on-line:

North, S. M., Stockhecke, M., Tomonaga, Y., & Mackay, A. W. (2017). Analysis of a fragmentary diatom record from Lake Van (Turkey) reveals substantial lake-level variability during previous interglacials MIS7 and MIS5e. J. Paleolimnol., doi:10.1007/s10933-017-9973-z.

Thanks to Sam, Mona, and Ans for this fruitful collaborative work!
