On the geoarchaeology of Limyra (SW Anatolia)-new insights into the famous Lycian city and its environs. [PDF]
Abstract Geoarchives in ancient settlement sites and their environs bear valuable information about Holocene landscape evolution and human–environment interactions. During the last six millennia, sea‐level and coastline changes have had a significant impact on coastal settlements, some of which even had to be relocated.

Thrace Basin—An Oligocene Clastic Basin Formed During the Exhumation of the Rhodope Complex
Abstract Some orogenic sedimentary basins are difficult to assign to a particular category. An example is the hydrocarbon‐bearing Thrace Basin in the northern Aegean. It has more than 9‐km‐thick Cenozoic clastic sediment, and is spatially associated with the Rhodope metamorphic core complex in the west, and with the Tethyan subduction‐accretion ...

Abstract The southwestern margin of the Central Anatolian Plateau corresponds to the upper crust of the subduction between African and Anatolian plates, with a high relief of up to 2 km. This mountainous region has distinctive geomorphological features and presents a unique setting to investigate the mechanism of orogenic plateau margin development ...

Abstract We report four K‐Ar fault‐gouge and eight U‐Pb calcite ages from the high‐pressure Phyllite‐Quartzite Unit (PQ) and the overlying, strongly thinned non‐high‐pressure Tripolitza and Pindos units of western Crete, Greece. We relate consistent 26–21 Ma fault‐gouge ages to a discrete top‐to‐the‐S, brittle‐ductile, contractional shear zone (Intra ...

Seismic‐stratigraphic analysis of Resolution Guyot as a prime examples of the Cretaceous Mid‐Pacific atolls revealed controls from the Cretaceous eustasy on the evolution and karstification of the Cretaceous Mid‐Pacific atolls along with other factors including changes in subsidence and production rates and later magmatic activity(ies). Abstract Atolls

Nonmarine Ostracoda as proxies in (geo‐)archaeology — A review
Abstract Ostracods as bioindicators are extremely useful for reconstructing palaeoenvironment and palaeoclimate and can also indicate the provenance of sediments and materials, for example, in studies on ancient commercial networks. Ostracods are small crustaceans that live in almost all aquatic habitats, both natural and man‐made.

Applying an integrated methodology, including petrography, mercury injection capillary pressure (MICP), laboratory nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and X‐ray computed tomography (XCT), on continental spring carbonate reservoir analogue samples is a prerequisite to understanding plug scale porosity and permeability heterogeneities.

Abstract We report the results of a field study on Sikinos Island in the Aegean extensional province of Greece and propose a hinge zone controlling incipient bivergent extension in the southern Cyclades. A first deformation event led to top‐S thrusting of the Cycladic Blueschist Unit (CBU) onto the Cycladic basement in the Oligocene. The mean kinematic
