Coral reefs of the United Arab Emirates (UAE) are living in the
world’s hottest sea. Recently, corals harbouring Symbiodinium
thermophilum, a thermotolerant microalgae, were found to be
prevalent among UAE reefs and ...
Long-term relative sea-level (RSL) change is complex,
resulting from eustatic, isostatic and regional vertical
processes (e.g., tectonics and sediment compaction).1
The determination of the RSL position is based on
the ...
The Athenian Basin has been inhabited since the

Due to the richness of its coastal environments, particularly lagoons and mangrove, the low-lying areas of the
Omani coastline attracted settlements very early. However, the low-lying coasts are highly mobile landscapes,
whose ...
In this paper, we focus on the southeastern coastal zone of the island of Samos (eastcentral
Aegean Sea), in order to reconstruct the evolution of coastal landscapes and the
relative sea-level changes during the late ...
