The youngest sapropel S1 has been investigated by a multiproxy study on a core (ET99-M11) collected in the western IonianSea at a water depth of 2800 m, which is considered to represent anoxic conditions in the eastern Mediterranean at the time
breakdown of organic matter. By using the magnetic parameters as indicators of paleoredox conditions the AA. compare the results with cores collected in the central and southern Adriatic Sea at different water depths. The formation of the Adriatic Deep Water

of the Apennine system in the northern Ioniansea. Given the proximity of this study area, the tectono-stratigraphic relationships imaged on these seismic lines are likely to provide good analogues for Neogene basins and depositional systems for much
The aim of this paper is to describe annual changes of the sedimentary budget of 7 selected sites on the Ionian Islands and the western Peloponnese (Greece), which were determined by annual terrestrial laser scanning (TLS) during the years 2009
. Geochronostratigraphical data were based on radiocarbon dating and the archaeological age estimation of diagnostic ceramic fragments. Geomorphological, sedimentological and geochemical methods were used to reconstruct the local palaeogeographical evolution and relative sea

This report examines recent developments in relation to present (and anticipated future) sea level, Quaternary sea-level fluctuations, the response of coastal landforms to sea-level change and the use of biological indicators of sea-level change.
Relationship between the decrease of sea ice and early summer atmospheric circulation in and around the Sea of Okhotsk
Anticyclone ; Atmospheric circulation ; Ocean atmosphere interaction ; Pacific Region ; Sea ice ; Time series ; Years 1970-79 ; Years 1980-89 ; Years 1990-99
The aim of this study is to clarify the relationships between the variability in sea ice area in the Sea of Okhotsk during the sea ice disappearance period, and the variability in the atmospheric circulation around the sea of Okhotsk during
the early summer, focused on the effects of the sea ice on the atmosphere. A strengthening of the Okhotsk anticyclone is presumed to be related to variability in the decrease in sea ice in the Sea of Okhotsk.
This report will concentrate on aspects of Quaternary sea-level change, summaries of trends in sea-level over recent decades from tide gauges, and predictions of future sea-level change and the anticipated responses of the coast.
This is a pioneer work to carry out a detailed study of sea ice pressure ridges in the Baltic Sea. The results are based on field measurements. They include measurements of such as the inside structure of ridges and the orientation of ice blocks
in the ridges sails. The aim of this paper is to serve as a basic information about the structure, morphology and distribution of the pressure ridges in the Baltic Sea. The results are compared with the information about the ridges in the Arctic Seas.
Introduction to the geomorphology of the Wadden Sea area in Geomorphology of the Wadden Sea area, final report of the section Geomorphology of the Wadden Sea Working Group.
Main features of the development of the Wadden Sea area are described: limitation of the area, the rise of the sea level since the Weichselian Glaciation, the sediment balance, the coastal development and the international position of the Wadden Sea

Black Sea ; Coastal environment ; Human impact ; Pollution ; Recreation area ; Water quality
Sochi, the largest health resort in the country, is taken as an example to analyze a negative anthropogenic impact on the Black Sea coast environment, in particular on surface and sea waters. The paper gives the results of an integrated pollution
This study provides new observational data of coastal development and sea-level change for the Baltic Sea region, and aims to test the applicability of geochemical tracers. Specific attention is given to 1) compositional variations within the Oder
