Late Miocene Euphrates River Drained Into A Partially Desiccated Eastern Mediterranean

[the paleogeographic reconstruction is outstanding, including the strength and information conveyed so well in that figure, kudos!]

“Although the Euphrates River - stretching ~3,000 km across Western Asia - has shaped the region’s geology for millions of years, the timing of its origin and the evolution of its course remain enigmatic. So far, two contrasting hypotheses have been proposed to explain the fluvial system’s Late Neogene path: termination in Anatolia at a palaeo-lake or the Mediterranean, or a southeastward continuation to Arabia. Here [they] use seismic-reflection and topographic data to show that two previously identified sedimentary accumulations - deposited during the terminal phase of the Late Miocene Messinian salinity crisis - resulted from dual riverine systems that drained into a partially desiccated eastern Mediterranean before avulsing toward the Persian Gulf and converging to form the modern Euphrates River. From probabilistic sediment-budget modelling, [they] show that although the latest Messinian drainage basins were an order of magnitude smaller than their present-day extents, the total palaeo-discharge exceeded that of the modern Tigris, Euphrates and Nile rivers combined, indicating intense palaeo-precipitation and high palaeo-relief. These results suggest that plate-margin deformation both controlled the fluvial avulsions that diverted the Euphrates River from the Anatolian–Eurasian Plate to the Arabian Plate, and established the conditions necessary for the development of the alluvial Fertile Crescent…”

The recent studies showed that there are a large number of natural and political events that happened within the last three decades in the area of the Tigris-Euphrates river system that for sure have done a great change to the environment of the two rivers and consequently changing the biological and non-biological resources of the two rivers.

"#Iraq is running out of #water. It is the fifth most vulnerable nation to the impact of #ClimateChange.
Water levels in the #Euphrates and #Tigris rivers have dropped by half.
And many Iraqis say #oil industry water use is just exacerbating the problem."https://www.aljazeera.com/program/people-power/2023/9/20/iraqs-water-wars-part-1

America's War for Oil and the Great Mesopotamian #Dustbowl
"As Iraqi posts on social media now regularly observe in horror, at certain places, if you stand on the banks of those once mighty [#Tigris and #Euphrates], you can see through to their riverbeds. You can even, Iraqis report, ford them on foot in some spots, a previously unheard-of phenomenon."

"Water levels in the #Tigris and #Euphrates rivers, which account for more than 90 per cent of #Iraq's freshwater reserves, have declined significantly over the years, partly as a result of the construction of #dams and diversion of #water upstream in Turkey and Iran." And now #ClimateChangeIsTheLastStraw
"Iraq has the world's fifth-largest proven #oil reserves but it also ranks fifth among countries most vulnerable to #CimateChange, according to the UN."
