Decadal acidification in Atlantic and Mediterranean water masses exchanging at the Strait of Gibraltar. [PDF]
Sci Rep, 2019 AbstractSeawater pH is undergoing a decreasing trend due to the absorption of atmospheric CO2, a phenomenon known as ocean acidification (OA). Biogeochemical processes occurring naturally in the ocean also change pH and hence, for an accurate assessment of OA, the contribution of the natural component to the total pH variation must be quantified.

Ba/Ca evolution in water masses of the Mediterranean late Neogene [PDF]
Paleoceanography, 2008 A Mediterranean composite sedimentary record was analyzed for Ba/Ca ratios on carbonate shells of Orbulina universa planktonic foraminifer (Ba/Ca)carb providing the opportunity to study and assess the extent of freshwater inputs on the basin and possible impacts on its dynamics during the Tortonian to Recent period.

Water Mass Transformation in a Secluded Bay of the Mediterranean Sea
Tellus A: Dynamic Meteorology and Oceanography, 2023 This case study demonstrates how water transformation in a secluded bay can be investigated using a range of Lagrangian analysis methods that can be calculated with a mass-conserving Lagrangian trajectory model. The study focuses on analysing the water mass transformation and overturning circulation in the Gulf of Gabès.

Mediterranean Outflow Water variability during the Early Pleistocene [PDF]
Climate of the Past, 2017 Gaining insights into the evolution of Mediterranean Outflow Water (MOW) during the Early Pleistocene has been so far hampered by the lack of available palaeoclimatic archives.
