COVER: Buried hundreds of meters below the seafloor of the Levant Basin, these impressively well-preserved submarine channels witnessed the demise of the Messinian salinity crisis—one of the most enigmatic environmental catastrophes in Earth's history. The image is made from spectral decomposition of 3-D seismic data. See ‘Late Messinian submarine channel systems in the Levant Basin: Challenging the desiccation scenario’ by Moneron and Gvirtzman, p. 1366–1371.
