We were thrilled to welcome Dr. Monika Markowska as a guest speaker for our latest session of the Water Seminar Series. Her talk, titled “Recurrent humid periods in central Arabia over the last 8 million years,” offered fascinating insights into the climatic history of the Arabian Peninsula and how it challenges prevailing assumptions about long-term aridification in the region.
Dr. Markowska’s research highlights multiple episodes of increased humidity in central Arabia, shedding new light on the potential for human migration and habitation in what is often considered a persistently arid landscape. The talk drew an excellent turnout, with attendees from across departments and disciplines. The lively Q&A session that followed reflected the high level of interest and sparked valuable interdisciplinary discussion.
For those interested in learning more, Dr. Markowska’s latest article is now available in Nature: Recurrent humid periods in central Arabia over the last 8 million years.
We extend our sincere thanks to Dr. Markowska for sharing her work with us, and to all who participated in making this seminar such a success.
