Plio–Quaternary Tectonic Activity in the Northern Nubian Belts: The Main Driving Forces by Enzo Mantovani, Marcello Viti, Daniele Babbucci, Caterina Tamburelli

“…The new tectonic setting started with the decoupling of a large portion of the Adriatic domain (Adria plate) from Nubia, through the formation of a long discontinuity crossing the Ionian domain (Victor Hensen–Medina fault) and the Hyblean–Pelagian domain (Sicily channel fault system). Once decoupled, the Adria plate underwent a clockwise rotation, at the expense of E–W shortening in the Hyblean–Pelagian domain and in the northern Nubian margin. …”

Computing ecosystem risk hotspots: A mediterranean case study by Gianpaolo Coro, Laura Pavirani, Anton Ellenbroek

“…High-risk hotspots concentrated in the Western Mediterranean, the Tyrrhenian Sea, the Adriatic Sea, the Strait of Sicily, the Aegean Sea, and eastern Turkey. Our results agreed with an alternative Fuzzy C-means-based method (with a 90% to 96% overlap over the years) and a Bayesian regression model (∼80% overlap).Our Mediterranean risk maps can facilitate the development of management and monitoring strategies, supporting the sustainable development and resilience of coastal zones, and can act as prior knowledge for ecosystem models and spatial plans.…”
