Abstract
The eastern Mediterranean Sea (EMS) sedimentary record is periodically interspersed with organic-rich ‘sapropel’ layers. Sapropels are characteristic of basin-wide anoxic events, triggered by precession-forced insolation maxima. Relatively subdued insolation maxima, however, are not always expressed as distinct sapropel events. The EMS sedimentary record is thus useful to investigate feedbacks between
