Falling water level drove about half the Dead Sea's deep-water warming in a GFZ-led model

Emmanuel Guillerm's model attributes 1.5C of the Dead Sea's 2.8C deep-water warming from 1979 to 2019 to the lake's own falling level. Saltier brine cools itself less as it evaporates, so the same loop may help explain ancient salt beds that formed without an exceptionally hot climate.
