The hyporheic zone (HZ) is a critical area of all river ecosystems. It the beneath stream and adjacent to stream, where surface water groundwater are mixed. HZ extends both vertically laterally depending on sediment configuration, namely their porosity permeability. This influences communities’ structural pattern active dispersal among distinct rivers compartments alluvial aquifers. still diffi...

Lithics and cut-marked mammal bones, excavated from the paleo-lake Marathousa 1 (MAR-1) sediments in Megalopolis Basin, southern Greece, indicate traces of hominin activity occurring along a paleo-shoreline ca. 444,000 years (444 ka) ago. However, local environment climatic conditions promoting area during MIS12 glacial remain largely unknown. In order to reconstruct paleo-environment including...
