The present geomorphology of the Mediterranean's coasts is largely a product of an intricate
long-term relationship between Nature and human societies. A cradle of ancient …

The principal paleogeographic characteristics of North and Central Africa during the
Paleozoic were the permanency of large exposed lands over central Africa, surrounded by …

Forty years after the image of the Mediterranean transformed into a giant salty lake was first
conceived, the fascinating history of the Messinian Salinity Crisis (MSC) still arouses great …

Abstract The Mediterranean Sea became disconnected from the world's oceans and mostly
desiccated by evaporation about 5.6 million years ago during the Messinian salinity crisis …

The modeling of paleoclimate, using physically based tools, is increasingly seen as a strong
out-of-sample test of the models that are used for the projection of future climate changes …

We propose a revised age calibration of the Messinian salinity crisis onset in the
Mediterranean at 5.971 Ma based on the recognition of an extra gypsum cycle in the …

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 …
