Abstract
⺠First systematic application of hydraulic-control theory to onset of Messinian Salinity Crisis. ⺠Includes explanation of the concept of hydraulic control aimed at non-specialists. ⺠Estimated are strait width and depth required to have the basin reach gypsum saturation. ⺠Response of basin salinity to temporal variation in strait depth is assessed. ⺠Gradual change in strait depth expected to lead to event-like geological expression.
