Clay mineralogy, grain size, XRF geochemistry and Nd and Sr isotopes from the central Red Sea

We present a sedimentary record from a marine core, KL11, taken from the central Red Sea, spanning the last ca. 210 kyr. The core was recovered at 18°44.5' N and 39°20.6' E from a water depth of 825 m during RV Meteor expedition M5/2 in 1987. We combine high-resolution grain size, clay mineral and geochemical data, together with Nd and Sr isotope data to identify provenance and reconstruct changes in aridity/humidity through time.
