Fifty-four Italian pollen sites, spanning the last 5.3 Ma, have been the object of an updated
synthesis. The chronostratigraphic framework of floral and vegetational events illustrates the …

Although outcropping rarely in Italy, evaporite (gypsum and anhydrite) karst has been
described in detail since the early 20th century. Gypsum caves are now known from almost …

In this paper, it is proposed that the formation of eastern Mediterranean sapropels occurred
in an anti-estuarine type of circulation, which was to some degree weakened relative to the …

Pollen data from numerous sites around the Mediterranean Sea indicate that several
important vegetation and climatic changes occurred during the Pliocene. These data are in …

Stable oxygen isotope data from four holes drilled at the Ocean Drilling Program Site 967,
which is located on the lower northern slope of the Eratosthenes Seamount, provide a …

The Mediterranean has been subject to changing human settlement and land use patterns
for millennia, and has a history of human exploitation in an inherently unstable landscape …

The Roer Valley Graben is the most prominent Cenozoic tectonic feature in the Netherlands
onshore, filled with up to 2000 m of predominantly Upper Oligocene to Quaternary …

Pollen and plant macrofossil records from a selection of sites in Spain, France and Italy are
used to explore the origin and the development of the Mediterranean vegetation. The role of …

Based on the stable isotopic analysis of planktonic and benthic foraminifers from Ocean
Drilling Program Core 1148 of the northern South China Sea (SCS), Pliocene–Pleistocene …

Three well-developed 10 Ma old sapropels from the island of Gavdos (Greece) were
selected for a detailed geochemical, micropaleontological and sedimentological study. The …
