A Cenozoic Shift From Extensional to Strike‐Slip Tectonics in the Central Mediterranean Sea
Abstract High‐resolution 3D seismic reflection data, structural interpretations and expansion index analyses are combined in this work to explain the mechanisms that drove a newly discovered shift from extensional to strike‐slip tectonics in the central Mediterranean region. In the Crotone Basin, Early Pliocene extension predominated at first as proven

ABSTRACT Despite high convergence velocity, the southern Ryukyu subduction has relatively low and sparse instrumental seismicity, in contrast with the Yaeyama Islands, hit by huge tsunamis over the last few thousand years. This study explores the potential of deep marine sediments to record past large earthquakes and tsunamis.

The creation of a Polish community in the Vaal Triangle, South Africa 1980-1989
During the 1980s, amid a domestic crisis, almost a million Poles left their homeland, fleeing a failing socialist economy and a repressive regime. The majority settled in Western Europe, Scandinavia and the United States of America, but some elected to ...

Abstract The eastern Adriatic margin is composed by an Ocean‐Continent Transition lithosphere (OCT), resulting in the southwards along‐strike variation from collision to subduction. The Cephalonia‐Lefkada Transform Fault zone (CTF) is a right‐lateral strike‐slip fault system located above the OCT and associated to this kinematic transition.

Reef island morphological change over the past two decades: Spermonde Archipelago, Indonesia
Low‐lying coral reef islands are presumed to be highly vulnerable landforms to the effects of climate change. Using high‐resolution and high‐frequency analysis of reef island shorelines, this study explores contemporary patterns of island morphological change and variability, providing important insights to support vulnerability assessments and ...

Abstract The Hellenic forearc is one of the least understood forearc systems globally due to limited availability of high‐resolution imagery of its deep structure, especially landward of the Mediterranean Ridge. Here, we combine widely spaced high‐resolution multichannel seismic‐reflection profiles with seafloor morpho‐bathymetric analysis and ...

Anatomy of the Right‐Lateral Strike‐Slip Cephalonia Fault to the Western Hellenic Arc Frontal Thrust
Abstract The region offshore the Ionian Islands (Kefalonia or Cephalonia, Lefkada, Zakynthos, and Ithaca), western Greece, is characterized by very high seismogenic and tsunamigenic potential. Despite numerous studies, many questions remain regarding the structures and kinematics in this area.

Abstract During 1925–26 and 1928, debates about birth control took place in the readers' column of North Star (Gwiazda Polarna), a US Polish language weekly. These discussions provide a rare insight into how ideas spread by the US birth control movement were received by an immigrant and ethnic working‐class Catholic community.

The Role of Salt Tectonics in the 2021 Central Adriatic Seismic Sequence
Abstract On 27 March 2021 a 3‐months lasting seismic sequence struck the Central Adriatic Basin that is part of the Adria plate, a relatively undeformed plate since recent times. Analyzing the waveform data acquired by the Italian and Croatian seismic networks, we computed the location parameters of 160 earthquakes and the focal mechanisms of the Mw 5 ...
