Abstract:Highlights Dinocysts grouped by salinity, providing long-term water level/flow reconstructions. Dinocysts show a higher highstand after the Mangyshlak lowstand than previously seen. A South to North water flow gradient at 8.5-4 cal ka BP, reversed from the current one. Water level influenced by precipitation over Karakum and perhaps indirectly monsoon. A major turnover in dinocyst assemblages in all three sequences at c. 4 cal. ka BP.
