African humid periods triggered the reactivation of a large river system in Western Sahara
Charlotte Skonieczny, Philippe Paillou, Aloys Bory et al., 2015. Nature Communications 6: 8751.
Orbital radar imagery reveals a large buried palaeodrainage network on the Mauritanian coast, which the authors propose was reactivated in past humid periods and carried sediment to the tropical Atlantic margin.
What it's used for here
Cited for the large buried river network that radar reveals on the Mauritanian coast, active in past humid periods, which proponents read as Plato's rivers.
