Abstract
An Atlantic source of precipitation can be inferred from stable isotopic data (H and O) for fossil groundwaters and
uranium-series-dated carbonate spring deposits from oases in the Western Desert of Egypt. In the context of
available stable isotopic data for fossil groundwaters throughout North Africa, the observed isotopic depletions (D
72 to 81; 18O 10.6 to 11.5) of fossil (32,000 yr B.P.) groundwaters from the Nubian aquifer are best
explained by progressive condensation of water vapor from paleowesterly wet oceanic air masses that traveled
across North Africa and operated at least as far back as 450,000 yr before the present. The values of 18O (17.1 to
25.9) for 45,000- to >450,000-yr-old tufas and vein-filling calcite deposits from the Kharga and Farafra Oases are
consistent with deposition from groundwaters having oxygen isotopic compositions similar to those of fossil
groundwaters sampled recently at these locations.

Abstract
Evidence of late Pleistocene closed-basin conditions in equatorial African lakes has far-reaching implications for the history of the Nile River. There has been widespreadacceptance that overflow of Lakes Victoria and Albert into the Nile occurred some timeduring the terminal Pleistocene, but recent suggestions that Lake Victoria remained a closedbasin until ca. 7.2 ka imply a much longer period of greatly reduced White Nile discharge.This hypothesis has major consequences for current ideas about the river's paleohydrology,early human exploitation of riverine resources, Nile delta sedimentation, and lateQuaternary genesis of sapropels in the eastern Mediterranean. Here we resolve the timing ofLake Victoria's overflow by using strontium isotopes as a tracer for water from the principallakes and rivers of the Upper Nile. Our data demonstrate that overflow of Lakes Victoria andAlbert into the Nile drainage network occurred no later than 11.5 14C ka.

The development of widespread anoxic conditionsin the deepoceans is evidenced by the accumulationand preservation oforganic-carbonrich sediments,
but its precise cause remains controversial. The twomost popular hypotheses involve (1) circulation-inducedincreased stratification resulting in reducedoxygenation ofdeep waters or (2) enhanced
productivity in the surface ocean, increasing the
raining down of organic matter andoverwhelmingthe oxic remineralization potential ofthe deep ocean. In theperiodic development ofdeep-water anoxia in the PliocenePleistoceneMediterranean Sea, increased riverinerunoff has been implicatedboth as a source fornutrients that fuel enhanced photic-zoneproductivity and a source of a less densefreshwater cap leadingto reduced circulation, basin-wide stagnation, and deep-wateroxygen starvation.
Monsoon-driven increases in Nile Riverdischargeand increased regional precipitation dueto enhanced westerlyactivitytwo mechanismsthat represent fundamentally differentclimaticdriving forceshave both been suggested as causesof the altered freshwater balance.Here we present data thatconfirm a distinctive neodymium (Nd) isotope signature fortheNile River relative to the Eastern Mediterraneanprovidinga new tracer of

We further present Ndisotope data for planktonicforaminifera that suggest a clear increase in Niledischargeduring the central intense period of two recent anoxic events.Our data alsosuggest, however, that other regional freshwatersources were more important at the

Abstract
A hydrochemical and environmental isotope investigation was conducted in the Nile Delta and adjacent desert fringeswithin the framework of a routine hydrogeological mapping project. The aim of the study was to obtain additional
insight into the historical groundwater flow pattern, to differentiate between fossil ground water and contemporaneous
recharge by Nile water. An inventory of existing chemical analyses was made (252 data points) and an additional 27
new samples were taken, which were also analysed for stable isotope (18 O and 2 H) content and, for nine
samples, 14C and tritium.
In the majority of analyses, irrespective of total salinity, an enrichment in sodium was observed relative to the
concentration resulting from direct mixing of Nile water with sewater. The Na-rich water is thought to have originated
in the extreme arid period from 14000 to 10000 years B.P. (last phase of the Weichsel glaciation) in which, by direct
evaporation of (scarce) rain, trona minerals were formed at the surface, and the ground water in phreatic aquifers
gradually became saline. The succeeding humid phase from 8000 to 5000 years B.P. when sea-level was relatively
high, caused freshening on the desert fringes only, because the Delta floodplain was covered by clay. The presentarid phase, which started at around 3500 years B.P., also marked the start of widespread floodplain irrigation.
Groundwater levels on the desert fringes dropped as a result of both aquifer depletion by discharge to the Qattara
Depression in the west and climatic effects. This in turn initiated a freshening process in the Quaternary and Moghra
aquifer of the Delta. Nile water has since then reached Wadi Natrun, 55 km to the west of the western floodplain
border.

Abstract
We used the nitrogen isotope ratio of algae, suspended particles and nitrate in the water column to track spatial
variations in the marine nitrogen cycle in the Mediterranean Sea. Surface PON (574 m) was more depleted in 15N in
the eastern basin (0.30.5) than in the western basin (+2.41.4), suggesting that nitrogen supplied by biological
N2 fixation may be an important source of new nitrogen in the eastern basin, where preformed nitrate from the Atlantic
Ocean could have been depleted during its transit eastward. The15N of nitrate in the deep Mediterranean ( 3 in
the western-most Mediterranean and decreasing toward the east) is significantly lower than nitrate at similar depths
from the North Atlantic (4.85), also suggesting an important role for N2 fixation. The eastward decrease in the 15N
of surface PON is greater than the eastward decrease in the 15N of the subsurface nitrate, implying that the amount
of N2 fixation in the eastern Mediterranean is great enough to cause a major divergence in the 15N of phytoplankton
biomass from the 15N of the nitrate upwelled from below. Variations in productivity associated with frontal processes,
including shoaling of the nitracline, did not lead to detectable variations in the 15N of PON. This indicates that no
differential fertilization or productivity gradient occurred in the Almerian/Oran area. Our results are consistent with a
lack of gradient in chlorophyll-a (chl-a) and nitrate concentration in the Alboran Sea. 15N enrichment in particles below
500 m depth was detected in the Alboran Sea with respect to surface PON, reaching an average value of +7.40.7.
The 15N in sinking particles caught at 100 m depth (4.95.6) was intermediate between suspended surface and
suspended deep particles. We found a consistent difference in the isotopic composition of nitrogen in PON compared
with that of chlorophyll (15N[PON-chlorin]=+6.41.4) in the surface, similar to the offset reported earlier in
cultures for cellular N and chl-a. This indicates that 15N of phytoplankton biomass was retained in surface PON, and
that alteration of the isotopic signal of PON at depth was due to heterotrophic activity.

Abstract
We used the nitrogen isotope ratio of algae, suspended particles and nitrate in the water column to track spatialvariations in the marine nitrogen cycle in the Mediterranean Sea. Surface PON (574 m) was more depleted in 15N in
the eastern basin (0.30.5) than in the western basin (+2.41.4), suggesting that nitrogen supplied by biological
N2 fixation may be an important source of new nitrogen in the eastern basin, where preformed nitrate from the Atlantic
Ocean could have been depleted during its transit eastward. The15N of nitrate in the deep Mediterranean ( 3 in
the western-most Mediterranean and decreasing toward the east) is significantly lower than nitrate at similar depths
from the North Atlantic (4.85), also suggesting an important role for N2 fixation. The eastward decrease in the 15N
of surface PON is greater than the eastward decrease in the 15N of the subsurface nitrate, implying that the amount
of N2 fixation in the eastern Mediterranean is great enough to cause a major divergence in the 15N of phytoplankton
biomass from the 15N of the nitrate upwelled from below. Variations in productivity associated with frontal processes,
including shoaling of the nitracline, did not lead to detectable variations in the 15N of PON. This indicates that no
differential fertilization or productivity gradient occurred in the Almerian/Oran area. Our results are consistent with a
lack of gradient in chlorophyll-a (chl-a) and nitrate concentration in the Alboran Sea. 15N enrichment in particles below
500 m depth was detected in the Alboran Sea with respect to surface PON, reaching an average value of +7.40.7.
The 15N in sinking particles caught at 100 m depth (4.95.6) was intermediate between suspended surface and
suspended deep particles. We found a consistent difference in the isotopic composition of nitrogen in PON compared
with that of chlorophyll (15N[PON-chlorin]=+6.41.4) in the surface, similar to the offset reported earlier in
