Evolution of the Late Miocene Mediterranean–Atlantic gateways and their impact on regional and global environmental change
Marine gateways play a critical role in the exchange of water, heat, salt and nutrients
between oceans and seas. As a result, changes in gateway geometry can significantly alter …
