Late Quaternary evolution of the northern Aegean shelf
Data used in this study consist of seismic reflection profiles and bathymetric profiles. They reveal the geological evolution of the Ierissos-Alexandroupolis shelf area of the northern Aegean during the latest sea-level rise. The islands of Thassos
and Samothraki were connected with the mainland until a few thousand years ago, when the rising sea separated them.
This study presents and combines data concerning relative sea level fluctuations from six coastal areas in the AegeanSea, from Thrace to North-Eastern Crete. These data have been derived from analyses and geo-chronologies on coastal sediments
obtained from boreholes in coastal lagoons and from beachrock bends. Trends of relative sea level change at the study areas are presented for the last 6000 years and are compared with K. Lambeck’s and A. Purcell's estimations for the same areas
. It is concluded that sea level is rising faster in Skyros and Mykonos-Delos insular complex of Cyclades islands, mainly due to tectonic movements or lithosphere elastic deformations.
Geomorphological, biological and AMS radiocarbon dating provide evidence of an about l m high elevated palaeo-shoreline at the NE coast of Ikaria Island, AegeanSea, and to a seismic uplift which occurred after AD950-1150 and was probably
In order to obtain more information on coastal evolution and the preservation of tsunamigenic and/or storm layers, several shallow boreholes were carried out along the shoreline of the Thracian Sea (northern Greece). In flat and southerly exposed
coastal areas, sedimentary sequences provide evidence for past high-energy sedimentary events, which are interpreted as tsunamites. Earthquakes at the western end and along the northern strand of the North Anatolian Fault Zone (NAFZ) in the North Aegean
The interpretation of Landsat imagery of a coastal embayment in the NW AegeanSea is compared with numerical model outputs representing the same environment : remotely sensed data and output from the hydrodynamic and dispersion models can
Arcal distribution, redeposition and mixing of tephra within deep-sea sediments of the eastern Mediterranean sea in Tephra studies.
Regional distributions of tephra deposits within Upper Quaternary pelagic sediments of the eastern Mediterranean and southern AegeanSeas have been determined from cores of deep-sea sediments. Slumping or other mass-wasting processes on the sea
Late Cenozoic history of eastern Crete and implications for the geology and geodynamics of the southern Aegean area
directions, is dominated by a central NE-SW graben, which seems to mark a dislocation in the curvature of the Aegean Arc. In Late Serravallian Early Tortonian times deposition drastically changed from terrestrial to open marine, with turbidites, filling
from the surrounding seas. Although strong, this general uplift was periodically interrupted. (AIS).
