Studia Hercynia, 2018 The sacral knot is one of the most discussed symbols of Minoan art. This study focuses on its iconographic use throughout time and tries to find a way to differentiate it from other similar symbols.

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 16, 28 August 2026.Abstract An intense seismic swarm started on 27 January 2025 in the Santorini‐Amorgos region and lasted for approximately 45 days. A widely observed seismic tremor on 14 February 2025 suggested a volcanic origin for the 2025 Santorini crisis. Here we present an in‐depth combined seismological analysis of the earthquakes and tremors that occurred during

Systemic bio‐inequity links poverty to biodiversity and induces a conservation paradox
People and Nature, Volume 8, Issue 8, Page 2700-2719, August 2026.Abstract Biodiversity is declining globally while inequity is growing, and poverty rates are not improving. Global sustainable development and conservation initiatives aim to address biodiversity loss and poverty simultaneously. Through text analysis of global biodiversity policies, we identified a consistent narrative that countries with high ...

Subterranean environments contribute to three‐quarters of classified ecosystem services
Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 3, Page 1582-1605, June 2026.ABSTRACT Beneath the Earth's surface lies a network of interconnected caves, voids, and systems of fissures forming in rocks of sedimentary, igneous, or metamorphic origin. Although largely inaccessible to humans, this hidden realm supports and regulates services critical to ecological health and human well‐being.

Through Basque to Minoan: Transliterations and Translations of the Minoan Tablets [PDF]
Nature, 1932 IN this book the experiment is tried of assigning modern Basque values to the Minoan characters on bronze age tablets from Crete. As Mr. Gordon says (p. 1), “such a method must obviously begin as pure guess-work”. It also ends there; for “not only did the system yield a language indistinguishable (at present) from Basque, but it revealed unmistakable ...

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, Volume 27, Issue 6, June 2026.Abstract Volcanism in continental rifts, rifted volcanic arcs, and back‐arc basins is fundamentally coupled with crustal extension. However, the precise geometry and timing of the fault systems that facilitate magma transport and accommodate extension remain poorly constrained.
