The 1956 Amorgos earthquake, with a magnitude of Ms = 7.5, caused a destructive tsunami in the Central Aegean Sea. Two gravity cores were collected south of Amorgos and Anafi Islands, respectively, confirming submarine landslide deposits linked to the 1956 earthquake. The 1956 Mass Transport Deposits (MTDs) vary in thickness from 55 to 100 cm in the cores. The predominant fraction of the sediments is clay, followed by sand (in...

Cyprus is a typical eastern Mediterranean country that suffers from local emissions, transported anthropogenic pollution, and dust storms all year round. Therefore, exposures to PM in ambient and residential micro-environments are of great public health concern. Our study collected indoor and outdoor PM 2.5 and PM 10 samples simultaneously in 22 houses in Nicosia, Cyprus, during warm seasons and cold seasons from February 2019...

We present a study on four high sedimentation-rate marine cores with suppressed bioturbation effects, recovered along the northern margin of the eastern Mediterranean. We demonstrate that this region, central to the development of modern civilisation, was substantially affected throughout the Holocene by a distinct cycle of cooling events on the order of 2o C. In the best-preserved cases the onset of these events appears parti...
