Dimensions of the Atlantic–Mediterranean connection that caused the Messinian Salinity Crisis
Marine Geology, 2015 What kind of gateway is needed to cause a salinity crisis? Although several reconstructions of possible Atlantic–Mediterranean gateways are proposed for the late Miocene, so far the gateway that must have existed before the desiccation of the Mediterranean during the Messinian is unknown.

The influence of the Messinian Salinity Crisis on the tectonic evolution of the Northern Apennines
Geological Society of America Abstracts with Programs, 2021ABSTRACT The Messinian Salinity Crisis (5.85–5.35 Ma) represents a nearly unprecedented unloading and loading event. During the Messinian Salinity Crisis, two important things happened in terms of surface load changes—the accumulation of thick evaporites represent a load addition, while the desiccation of the Mediterranean represents a ...

The Messinian Sicilian stratigraphy revisited: new insights for the Messinian salinity crisis
Terra Nova, 2008AbstractControversies around the Messinian salinity crisis (MSC) are because of the difficulties in establishing genetic and stratigraphic relationships between its deep and shallow‐water record. Actually, the Sicilian foreland basin shows both shallow and deep‐water Messinian records, thus offering the chance to reconstruct comprehensive MSC scenarios.

Choking the Mediterranean to dehydration: The Messinian salinity crisis
Geology, 2009Strait uplift due to isostasy played a pivotal role in the development and maintenance of a desiccated Mediterranean basin during the Late Miocene Messinian salinity crisis. New three-dimensional flexure models for the western Mediterranean suggest that most of the giant evaporite body was deposited before sea-level lowering.

The Messinian salinity crisis: Looking for a new paradigm?
Palaeogeography, Palaeoclimatology, Palaeoecology, 2006Abstract The importance of the sedimentary record of Messinian events in the Apennines foredeep is due to its geological and structural settings, which allow the reconstruction of the relationships between marginal and basinal settings and provide fundamental insights into some important issues.

Testing models for the Messinian salinity crisis: The Messinian record in Almería, SE Spain
Sedimentary Geology, 2006Abstract Neogene intermontane basins in Almeria Province, SE Spain, display excellent exposures of Messinian (Late Miocene) sequences. The Sorbas, Almeria-Nijar and Vera basins maintained connection with the Mediterranean throughout the Messinian, except during the major desiccation phase leading to the formation of salt in the deep centre of the ...

Climate modelling sensitivity experiments for the Messinian Salinity Crisis
Palaeogeography, Palaeoclimatology, Palaeoecology, 2010Abstract The repeated isolation of the Atlantic Ocean during the Messinian led to at least the partial desiccation of the Mediterranean Sea and to the deposition of massive evaporites (Messinian Salinity Crisis). Overall, proxy data do not indicate dramatic climatic changes in the Mediterranean region for the time of the Messinian Salinity Crisis but

Messinian salinity crisis and its paleogeographical implications
Palaeogeography, Palaeoclimatology, Palaeoecology, 1976Abstract During the Late Messinian (uppermost Miocene) the region that is now Italy was occupied by a lake or system of lakes similar to those of the Paratethys existing to the east. Lacustrine deposits are known, not only in Italy, but extending southward through Sicily into the northern part of Tunisia.

How did the Messinian Salinity Crisis end?
Terra Nova, 2005AbstractThe cause of the desiccation of the Mediterranean Sea during the Messinian Salinity Crisis has been widely debated, but its re‐flooding remains poorly investigated. Interpretations generally involve tectonic collapse of the Strait of Gibraltar or global sea‐level rise, or even a combination of both.

The onset of the Messinian salinity crisis: Insights from Cyprus sections
Sedimentary Geology, 2009Abstract The Neogene basins of Southern Cyprus provide a good opportunity to improve the knowledge of the paleoenvironmental changes involved in the triggering of the Messinian evaporite deposition in the Mediterranean, and of their chronology, which is still questionable with regards to the parameters responsible for the triggering of the salinity ...
