The late Miocene evolution of the Mediterranean Basin is characterized by major changes in
connectivity, climate and tectonic activity resulting in unprecedented environmental and …

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 …

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 …

The first deep-sea drilling expedition in the Mediterranean chanced upon unanticipated
discoveries when recovering deeply buried sediments of Late Miocene age that had once …

Submarine landslides are ubiquitous along Mediterranean continental margins. With the aim
of understanding mass‐wasting processes and related hazard at the scale of a large marine …

Slab retreat, slab tearing and interactions of slabs are first-order drivers of the deformation of
the overriding lithosphere. An independent description of the tectonic evolution of the back …

Evaporite giants can precipitate out of high salinity waters in semi-enclosed ocean basins
when the rate of evaporation outstrips the inflow of new saline and fresh waters. The thick …

This work interprets the pore pressure distribution and in-situ stress magnitudes in the~
10,600 feet thick Neogene succession of the West and South Al-Khilala gas fields, onshore …

Astronomical tuning of the Messinian pre‐salt succession in the Levant Basin allows for the
