Diagenetic dissolution of magnetic minerals has been widely observed in organic-rich sediments from many environments. Organic-rich sediments from the eastern Mediterranean Sea (sapropels), recovered during Leg 160 of the Ocean Drilling Program, reveal a surprising catalogue of magnetic properties. Sapropels, from all sites studied across the eastern Mediterranean Sea, are strongly magnetic and...

A single specimen of Prostheceraeus roseus was recorded for the first time on 25 April 2019 from Cevlik coast, Iskenderun Bay (Eastern Mediterranean, Turkey). After, other a Tylodina perversa observed during Scuba diving Keldag located within Mediterranean), at depth 12 m rocky habitat covered with algae. The present finding is occurrence and eastern Turkey. Although these species are live in M...

Daniel Jean Stanley. Parallel Laminated Deep-Sea Muds and Coupled Gravity Flow-Hemipelagic Settling in the Mediterranean. Smithsonian Contributions to the Marine Sciences, number 19, 19 pages, 7 figures, 1983.—The origin of fine-grained deep-sea facies is often blurred because of interplay of diverse transport mechanisms: sediment gravity flow, traction related to fluid-driven circulation, and ...

The evolution of the upper thermocline on a section across the eastern Mediterranean was recorded biweekly through a series of XBT transects from Piraeus, Greece to Alexandria, Egypt, extending from October 1999 to October 2000 on board Voluntary Observing Ships in the framework of the Mediterranean Forecasting System Pilot Project. The data acquired provided valuable information on the seasona...

The northeastern Atlantic and the Mediterranean Sea share geological histories and display great faunal aYnities. The majority of the Mediterranean species have Atlantic origins, with a few species with tropical aYnities. These include the parrotWsh Sparisoma cretense and the wrasse Thalassoma pavo that are restricted to the subtropical northeastern Atlantic, the Macaronesian archipelagos (Azor...

Two new 20-membered macrolides, levantilide A and B, were isolated from the Micromonospora strain M71-A77. Strain M71-A77 was recovered from an Eastern Mediterranean deep-sea sediment sample and revealed to produce the levantilides under in situ salinity of 38.6 ‰. The chemical structures of the levantilides were elucidated on the basis of different one- and two- dimensional NMR experiments. Le...

The precipitation climatology and the underlying climate mechanisms of the eastern Mediterranean, West Asia, and the Indian subcontinent are reviewed, with emphasis on upper and middle tropospheric flow in the subtropics and its steering of precipitation. Holocene climate change of the region is summarized from proxy records. The Indian monsoon weakened during the Holocene over its northernmost...

Over the last two centuries, the marine life of the Eastern Mediterranean has been influenced by two major factors: one is beneficial, and concerns species migration, such as the opening of the Suez Canal, which enriched the impoverished eastern Mediterranean Sea with over 300 species of fish and invertebrates of Red Sea origin; while the other, a negative and possibly wider-reaching factor, is...
