Researchers at the University of Granada participate in an international project which has revealed that during the early phase of the Holocene (10,000 -- 6,000 years ago) the climate in the Iberian Peninsula was rather more humid than it currently is.
Scientists have found evidence of atmospheric dust from the Sahara in the depths of the Rio Seco lake, 3,020 meters above sea level, accumulated over the last 11,000 years.
A research project which counts with the participation of the University of Granada has revealed new data on the climate change that took place in the Iberian Peninsula around the mid Holocene (around 6,000 years ago), when the amount of atmospheric dust coming from the Sahara increased. The data came from a study of the sediments found in an Alpine lake in Sierra Nevada (Granada)
This study, published in the journal Chemical Geology, is based on the sedimentation of atmospheric dust from the Sahara, a very frequent phenomenon in the South of the Iberian Peninsula. This phenomenon is easily identified currently, for instance, when a thin layer of red dust can be occasionally found on vehicles.
Scientists have studied an Alpine lake in Sierra Nevada, 3020 metres above sea level, called Rio Seco lake. They collected samples from sediments 1.5 metres deep, which represent approximately the last 11,000 years (a period known as Holocene), and they found, among other paleoclimate indicators, evidence of atmospheric dust coming from the Sahara. According to one of the researchers in this study, Antonio García-Alix Daroca, from the University of Granada, "the sedimentation of this atmospheric dust over the course of the Holocene has affected the vital cycles of the lakes in Sierra Nevada, since such dust contains a variety of nutrients and / or minerals which do not abound at such heights and which are required by certain organisms which dwell there"

Eleven commercial jets have reportedly
been stolen in recent weeks in Libya, and Western intelligence agencies
have begun warning they could be used in terror attacks on Sept. 11, the
anniversary of the devastating Osama bin Laden-orchestrated attacks on
New York and Washington that left nearly 3,000 dead

ISIS has now beheaded a second American hostage. According to the SITE Intelligence Group, the terror group posted a video
showing the killing of Steven Sotloff, a journalist who has been held
for months but whose captivity was made public only two weeks ago, when
he was shown at the end of the video depicting James Foley’s killing.
Though I have not seen the video, a still image circulating online
shows a similar setup to that of the Foley killing, with Sotloff
kneeling in an orange jumpsuit in a desert landscape next to a fighter
in a black mask holding a knife.
