Abstract
The Impact of Humans on Strata Formation Along Mediterranean Margins
Highlights
RRIVERS FLOWING INTO THE MEDITERRANEAN: A SEA OF CONTRASTS The Mediterranean and Black Seas are micro-tidal and less than 3 x 106 km2 and 500 km2 in area, respectively
One of the most significant factors controlling sediment discharge in the Mediterranean region over the last few millennia is the development of civilization
Indirect Impacts Global Change and Mediterranean Sensitivity In spite of the controversy about how global climate is changing, it is broadly accepted that human practices have influenced the world climatic patterns—70 percent of the present-day sources of atmospheric methane have an anthropogenic origin (Ruddiman, 2001)
Summary
BY CAMINO LIQUETE, MIQUEL CANALS, PEDRO ARNAU, ROGER URGELES, AND XAVIER DURRIEU DE MADRON. RRIVERS FLOWING INTO THE MEDITERRANEAN: A SEA OF CONTRASTS The Mediterranean and Black Seas are micro-tidal and less than 3 x 106 km and 500 km in area, respectively. The latter is connected to the Mediterranean Sea by the narrow Bosphorus-Dardanelles Strait. The most important fluvial systems flowing into the Mediterranean and Black Seas are the Ebro, Rhône, Po, Danube, and Nile Rivers (Figure 1). They represent the largest sediment contribution to Mediterranean margins. One of the most significant factors controlling sediment discharge in the Mediterranean region over the last few millennia is the development of civilization
