First AUV and ROV investigation of seismogenic faults in the Alboran Sea (Western Meditarranean) [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
In May-June 2015 we carried out the SHAKE cruise on board the RV “Sarmiento de Gamboa” the first in situ investigation using state-of-the-art underwater vehicles, the AUVs “AsterX” and “IdefX” (IFREMER, France) and the ROV “Max Rover” (HCMR, Greece ...

Integrating Aegean Last Interglacial faunas into the Mediterranean palaeobiogeographic framework: New evidence from Karpathos (Greece)

open access: yesJournal of Quaternary Science, Volume 41, Issue 1, Page 80-98, January 2026.
ABSTRACT The Last Interglacial (LIG) or Marine Isotope Stage (MIS) 5e, spanning 129 to 116 kyrs ago, is recognised as one of the warmest periods in the Quaternary, with global sea surface temperatures (SSTs) 1°C–2°C higher than today, sea levels 5–10 m above the current level and biogeographical range expansion of specific tropical species into the ...

Pasiphaeid shrimps in the western Mediterranean: geographical variability in distribution and population patterns

open access: yesScientia Marina, 2015
This work aimed to analyse the main characteristics of the bathymetric and geographic distribution, population size structure and size at maturity of the continental slope caridean shrimps Pasiphaea sivado and Pasiphaea multidentata in the western ...

Geodynamic evolution of a wide plate boundary in the Western Mediterranean, near-field versus far-field interactions

open access: yesBSGF - Earth Sciences Bulletin, 2021
The present-day tectonic setting of the Western Mediterranean region, from the Pyrénées to the Betics and from the Alps to the Atlas, results from a complex 3-D geodynamic evolution involving the interactions between the Africa, Eurasia and Iberia plates

Plant conservation in a changing Mediterranean world

open access: yesPLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 8, Issue 1, Page 49-72, January 2026.
The Mediterranean is one of five climatic regions on the planet characterised by a prolonged summer drought, exceptional plant diversity and high rates of endemism. We provide a framework to link the ecology of plant species conservation in the context of rapid and extreme climate deregulation to a philosophical typology of temporal attitudes (i.e ...

Reconciling diverse lacustrine and terrestrial system response to penultimate deglacial warming in southern Europe [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Unlike the most recent deglaciation, the regional expression of climate changes during the penultimate deglaciation remains understudied, even though it led into a period of excess warmth with estimates of global average temperature 1–2 °C, and sea level

Sea Surface Temperature and Salinity Changes in the Easternmost Mediterranean During the Pre‐Evaporitic Messinian Controlled by the Restriction at Gibraltar

open access: yesPaleoceanography and Paleoclimatology, Volume 41, Issue 1, January 2026.
Abstract During the latest Miocene, the Mediterranean Basin was affected by extreme paleoceanographic and paleoenvironmental changes culminating with evaporite (gypsum and halite) formation during the Messinian Salinity Crisis (MSC: 5.97–5.33 Ma).

Hydrological variations of the intermediate water masses of the western Mediterranean Sea during the past 20 ka inferred from neodymium isotopic composition in foraminifera and cold-water corals [PDF]

open access: yesClimate of the Past, 2017
We present the neodymium isotopic composition (εNd) of mixed planktonic foraminifera species from a sediment core collected at 622 m water depth in the Balearic Sea, as well as εNd of scleractinian cold-water corals (CWC; Madrepora oculata, Lophelia ...

“Western Mediterranean” (WM) broad band network: permanent seismic monitoring at the Ibero-Maghrebian region [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
The “Ibero-Maghrebian” region, a western part of the Eurasia-Africa plate boundary, is a broad deformation area without a well defined plate boundary line, comprising the Southern part of the Iberian Peninsula, the Northwestern part of Africa, the Gulf ...

From Compression to Extension in the Eastern Pyrenees: New Insights From Low‐Temperature Thermochronology

open access: yesTectonics, Volume 45, Issue 1, January 2026.
Abstract The tectonic evolution of the Eastern Pyrenees from the orogenic mountain building to the post‐orogenic dismantling is still debated. Since the Oligocene, the Gulf of Lion rifting in the Western Mediterranean superimposed crustal extension in this eastern part of the Pyrenean belt, while compressional tectonics persisted in the Central ...
