Comments on “Mount Sedom salt diapir - Source for sulphate replenishment and gypsum supersaturation in the last glacial Dead Sea (Lake Lisan)” by Levy EJ, Sivan O, Antler G, Lazar B, Stein M, Yechieli Y, Gavrieli I

Abstract

The paper under discussion, ignores a published, very large new data set (Charrach, 2018a, b), which is multi-disciplinary and integrates the most recent research. The detailed study of the geology of Mt. Sedom raises many questions regarding the interpretation and models presented in the paper. The analysis of the new data set from Mt. Sedom, gathered from measured evidence, with an analysis of the hydro-geochemistry of the Dead Sea Basin regarding the different sources of sulphate ions could considerably improve their paper.
