Microplastic pollution is one of the emerging threats across the globe and is becoming a topic of intense study for environmental researchers. At present, almost all of the world’s oceans and seas are contaminated with microplastics but the Mediterranean

Why Is the Mediterranean a Climate Change Hot Spot?
Higher precipitation is expected over most of the world’s continents under climate change, except for a few specific regions where models project robust declines.

Finding Coastal Megaclast Deposits: A Virtual Perspective
Coastal megaclast deposits are dominated by detrital particles larger than 1 m in size. These attract significant attention of modern researchers because of the needs of sedimentary rock nomenclature development and interpretation of storm and tsunami ...

Modulation of the occurrence of heat waves over the Euro-Mediterranean region by the intensity of the Atlantic Multidecadal Variability [PDF]
The influence of the Atlantic Multidecadal Variability (AMV) and its amplitude on the Euro-Mediterranean summer climate is studied in two climate models, namely CNRM-CM5 and EC-Earth3P. Large ensembles of idealized experiments have been conducted in which North Atlantic sea surface temperatures (SSTs) are relaxed towards different amplitudes of the ...

AbstractThis chapter focuses on slavery in the Mediterranean region from the sixteenth to the nineteenth century, and especially in the Northern Mediterranean basin, including the Italian states, France, Spain, and Portugal. Comparing the situation in Southern European states to that in the Ottoman Empire and its satellite states enables an analysis of

The Mediterranean diet, plasma metabolome, and cardiovascular disease risk.
AIMS To investigate whether metabolic signature composed of multiple plasma metabolites can be used to characterize adherence and metabolic response to the Mediterranean diet and whether such a metabolic signature is associated with cardiovascular ...

Climate change is still a subject of debate for archaeologist-neolithicists. Its exact chronology, internal pattern, variations in space and time, and impacts on sites and ecosystems and on coastal dynamic and river systems have yet to be assessed.

Ballast water-mediated species spread risk dynamics and policy implications to reduce the invasion risk to the Mediterranean Sea [PDF]
The Mediterranean Sea is one of the most heavily invaded marine regions. This work focuses on the dynamics and potential policy options for ballast water-mediated nonindigenous species to the Mediterranean. Specifically, we (1) estimated port risks in years 2012, 2015, and 2018, (2) identified hub ports that connect many clusters, and (3) evaluated ...

Finsler geodesics of Lagrangian systems through Routh reduction [PDF]
We make use of a symmetry reduction technique called Routh reduction to show that the solutions of the Euler-Lagrange equations of a strongly convex autonomous Lagrangian which lie on a specific energy level can be thought of as geodesics of an associated Finsler function.
