The geosites of Lemnos represent local touristic products that, beyond their high aesthetic value, display significant scientific links to the geological past as well as prehistory and history, archaeology, mythology and religious heritage of the island. The unique wealth of Lemnos geosites in combination with the abundance of archaeological sites,...
To enrich spatio-temporal information on the distribution of alien, cryptogenic, and neonative species in the Mediterranean and the Black Sea, a collective effort by 173 marine scientists was made to provide unpublished records and make them open access to the scientific community. Through this effort, we collected and harmonized a dataset of 12,64...
Alkyonides Bay comprises a relative shallow (~ 370 m depth) semi-enclosed basin in the eastern Gulf of Corinth that was formed during the Pleistocene. The transition to modern marine conditions is recorded at around 12 ka BP, linked to the Holocene marine transgression, while tectonic activity and sea level changes control the sedimentation in the...
This study presents the preliminary results of selected samples from Aggelokastro section, NE Peloponnese, Greece. The section is comprised of a ~200 m thick carbonate sedimentary succession, followed by a ~10 m of thin bedded siliceous deposits, capped by ~50 m of clastic sediments of the “schist-sandstone-chert”
formation and finally overthrusted...
Geological heritage or geoheritage refers to the total of geosites, i.e., areas of high geological interest in a given area. Geosites have a high potential of attracting geotourists, thus contributing to the development of the local economy. Assessing sites of geological interest can contribute to their promotion, as well as their preservation and...
Akrotiri Salt Lake is located 5 km west of the city of Lemesos in the southernmost part of the island of Cyprus. The evolution of the Akrotiri Salt Lake is of great scientific interest, occurring during the Holocene when eustatic and isostatic movements combined with local active tectonics and climate change developed a unique geomorphological envi...
Thorough faunal (benthic foraminifera, ostracods, molluscs) and palynomorph analyses as well as magnetic susceptibility measurements performed on the Piraeus coastal plain sedimentary sequences have shed light on the paleoenvironmental evolution of the area since ca. 9000 cal BP. Benthic and palynomorph assemblages along with magnetic susceptibilit...
Coastal landscapes are sensitive to changes due to the interplay between surface and submarine geological processes, climate variability, and relative sea level fluctuations. The sedimentary archives of such marginal areas record in detail the complex evolution of the paleoenvironment and the diachronic biota response. The Elefsis Bay is nowadays a...

A 3 m thick carbonate sequence from northern Chios Island is assigned here to the latest Capitanian/earliest Wuchiapingian transitional interval. It is characterized by abundant gymnocodiacean algae, associated with some miliolate, nankinellin and nodosariate foraminifers. These strata display bioaccumulated perireefal microfacies with richthofenii...
In the eastern Mediterranean, the island of Crete offers excellent exposures of upper Miocene marine deposits. Three detailed sections of the Tortonian/Messinian sedimentary succession were measured and sampled in three different basins (from west to east: Chania, Heraklion, and Sitia). The biostratigraphic analysis based on planktonic foraminifera...
Objectives: This study aims to reconstruct the Late Quaternary palaeoenvironmental and palaeoceanographic evolution of Saronikos Gulf (W-Central Aegean), by means of the benthic microfaunal (foraminifera and ostracods). Methods & Results: A 260-cm long sediment core (SAR 39) was recovered from Saronikos Gulf middle shelf, at 140m water depth. The m...
In the present study, we investigate the Mediterranean–Paratethys connection during the late Miocene in Strymon Basin (North Aegean, northeastern Mediterranean) and compare this onshore sequence with the adjacent offshore Prinos-Nestos sequence, before, during, and after the Messinian Salinity Crisis (MSC). Strymon Basin was a peripheral shallow-wa...
This research aims to reconstruct the Late Quaternary paleoenvironmental evolution of Saronikos Gulf (W-central Aegean), by means of the benthic foraminiferal record. Saronikos Gulf is typical of many semi-enclosed marine areas in Mediterranean Sea. It is surrounded by the Athens metropolitan area, the Piraeus harbour, and the industrial zone of El...

The Saronikos Gulf is a semi-enclosed embayment situated in the west-central region of the Aegean Sea in the eastern Mediterranean, and covers a total surface area of 1,117 km2. It is a neotectonic basin, divided by a very shallow north–south-oriented platform into a western and an eastern part. The western basin has depths exceeding 400 m, the eas...
Glacial activity affects landscape evolution in some parts of mountainous Greece. This paper deals with the southern part of Mount Olympus where the geomorphological impacts of Pleistocene glaciations are well presented. It is a preliminary study to demonstrate the landscape that has evolved as a result of glacial activity in these uplands. For thi...
The purpose of this study is to collect micropalaeontological evidence concerning the palaeoenvironmental changes that took place at Southern Evoikos Gulf during the Holocene. Southern Evoikos Gulf is a shallow epicontinental basin, at the northern prolongation of the Cycladic Platform (Western Aegean Sea, Greece). The study area of the present res...

South Evoikos Gulf is an elongate, WNW - ESE trending basin, 60 km long
and 15 km wide. Its floor slopes towards the south-east where the basin

The Istron area is located in northeastern Crete, Gulf of Mirabello, on an alluvial fan of Holocene age. The archaeological importance of this area is suggested not only by its archaeological remains, but also by its significant location. Many important Minoan sites, like Gournia, Kavousi, Pseira, have been discovered near Istro. There are indicati...

The Middle-Late Holocene infill of the coastal plain of Marathon, Greece, consists of lagoonal deposits related to the decrease of the sea level rise rate. Between a little earlier than 5800 and 3500 Cal BP, mesohaline-oligohaline lagoonal carbonate muds were uninterruptedly accumulating in the central and more seaward areas of the embayment. At th...
cologie des foraminifères et des ostracodes dans les environnements côtiers du sud-est de l'île d'Andros (mer Egée centrale, Grèce) Abstract A comparative study of recent epiphytal ostracod and benthic foraminiferal populations was conducted in August 2001, at two gulfs (Korthi and Kastro) located at the southeastern part of Andros Island (middle A...
The present study, based mainly on the analysis of foraminifers and ostracodes, provides evidence of paleoenvironmen-tal changes on the coastal plain of Marathon (E. Greece) during the last 6.000 yrs. Three sedimentary units -lagoonal formations - were recognized and identified as A, B and C. They range in time between before 5500BP - 3500BP, 3500B...
