Remote Sensing, 2020 The present study deals with the morphometric quantification of erosion and illustrates the uplift component triggered by denudation (isostasy) in the growth and evolution of a rising orogeny by the application of Airy isostasy concepts.

Paratethys pacing of the Messinian Salinity Crisis: low salinity waters contributing to gypsum precipitation? [PDF]
Earth and Planetary Science Letters, 2020 <p><strong>During the so-called Messinian Salinity Crisis (MSC: 5.97-5.33 Myr ago), reduced exchange with the Atlantic Ocean caused the Mediterranean to develop into a &#8220;saline giant&#8221; wherein ~</strong><strong>1 million km<sup>3</sup>

The Messinian salinity crisis in Cyprus: a further step towards a new stratigraphic framework for Eastern Mediterranean [PDF]
, 2015 A revised stratigraphic framework for the Messinian succession of Cyprus is proposed demonstrating that the three-stage model for the Messinian salinity crisis recently established for the Western Mediterranean also applies to the Eastern Mediterranean ...

High-frequency cyclicity in the Mediterranean Messinian evaporites: evidence for solar-lunar climate forcing [PDF]
, 2012 The deposition of varved sedimentary sequences is usually controlled by climate conditions. The study of two Late Miocene evaporite successions (one halite and the other gypsum) consisting of annual varves has been carried out to reconstruct the ...

The Mediterranean deep-sea fauna: historical evolution, bathymetric variations and geographical changes [PDF]
, 2004 The deep-water fauna of the Mediterranean is characterized by an absence of distinctive characteristics and by a relative impoverishment. Both are a result of events after the Messinian salinity crisis (Late Miocene).

The Messinian "Calcare di Base" (Sicily, Italy) revisited [PDF]
, 2010 Three different types of carbonate deposits are included within the "Calcare di Base",commonly envisaged to record the Messinian salinity crisis onset: type 1 consists of sulphur-bearinglimestones, representing the biogenic product of bacterial sulphate ...

The Gibraltar Corridor: Watergate of the Messinian Salinity Crisis [PDF]
Marine Geology, 2018 The existence and evolution of a Messinian salt giant in the Mediterranean Sea has caused much debate in the marine science community. Especially the suggestion that the Mediterranean was a deep desiccated basin during the Messinian Salinity Crisis (MSC, 5.97–5.33 Ma), triggered by a temporal disconnection from the global ocean, made it a well-known ...

Critical analysis of Mediterranean sea level limit cycles during the Messinian salinity crisis
Geologica Acta, 2021 The Messinian Salinity Crisis (5.97-5.33Ma) may be one of the most significant periods of sea-level change in recent geologic history. During this period, evaporite deposition throughout the Mediterranean basin records a series of dramatic environmental ...
