 The curation of Micropaleontology collection at the Laboratory Historical Geology and Biogeosciences (HG-BioGeoSci), National Kapodistrian University Athens (NKUA), undergoes auspices newly introduced MSc programme in Industrial Environmental Applications (IdEA-M, https://idea-m.com/) Department Geoenvironment. Originated as ‘Laboratory Paleontology’ 1906, HG-BioGeoSci incorporated micropaleontological collections mainly since mid ’70s, when Professor...
Abstract Dispilio is a lakeside settlement by the Orestias Lake, Kastoria, northern Greece. The site was inhabited from Middle Neolithic to Chalcolithic, with some surface evidence of Bronze Age occupation. Microfacies analysis sediments, supported suite environmental indices, has provided detailed paleoenvironmental data and elucidated main processes involved in formation its history established on lakeshore, shallow sand ridge shore marsh. Initially, houses were built raised platforms...
Geological heritage or geoheritage refers to the total of geosites, i.e., areas high geological interest in a given area. Geosites have potential attracting geotourists, thus contributing development local economy. Assessing sites can contribute their promotion, as well preservation and protection. Greece’s geotectonic position convergent zone between African Eurasian plates has contributed existence considerable wealth with particularly active region Ionian Sea characterized hotspot. The...
The Middle-Late Holocene infill of the coastal plain Marathon, Greece, consists lagoonal deposits related to decrease sea level rise rate. Between a little earlier than 5800 and 3500 Cal BP, mesohaline-oligohaline carbonate muds were uninterruptedly accumulating in central more seaward areas embayment. At same time nearshore environment, oligohaline pelloidal charophytic deposited during periods relatively increased rate rise, whereas with lower rates extensive marshes forming supratidal...
The geosites of Lemnos represent local touristic products that, beyond their high aesthetic value, display significant scientific links to the geological past as well prehistory and history, archaeology, mythology religious heritage island. unique wealth in combination with abundance archaeological sites, cultural monuments museums composes basis what we define here “Geo-Archaeo-Routes”: certain routes that can be geographically defined, offered, guided finally followed by masses. outcome...
The Istron area is located in northeastern Crete, Gulf of Mirabello, on an alluvial fan Holocene age. archaeological importance this suggested not only by its remains, but also significant location. Many important Minoan sites, like Gournia, Kavousi, Pseira, have been discovered near Istro. There are indications human installations from the Neolithic to Roman period, proving continuous activity area. geological location- it represents with intense tectonic activity-, geomorphological regime...
The Palamari bay is located on the northeastern coast of Skyros island (Sporades islands, Aegean Sea). At northern part a prehistoric archaeological site dated between 2800 and 1700 Before Common Era (Early Bronze Age II–Middle I). Our paleoenvironmental reconstruction has combined coastal submarine geomorphological observations with stratigraphy late Holocene sediments, as well micropaleontological palynological data deposits radiocarbon dating. Two beachrock formations aeolian dunes are...
Glacial activity affects landscape evolution in some parts of mountainous Greece. This paper deals with the southern part Mount Olympus where geomorphological impacts Pleistocene glaciations are well presented. It is a preliminary study to demonstrate that has evolved as result glacial these uplands. For this purpose, detailed field work and large‐scale mapping were performed. A 25‐m sediment core was retrieved from area on which lithological micropalaeontological–palaeobotanical analyses...
The present study, based mainly on the analysis of foraminifers and ostracodes, provides evidence paleoenvironmental changes coastal plain Marathon (E. Greece) during last 6.000 yrs. Three sedimentary units -lagoonal formations - were recognized identified as A, B C. They range in time between before 5500BP-3500BP, 3500BP-2500BP 2500BP-recent, respectively. study brackish marsh microfauna Holocene sediments reveals presence, 5500 yrs., three distinct biofacies already established....
Abstract The present study provides a thorough analysis of the composition recent marine ostracod populations from bottom sediments central Aegean Sea, as well their distribution patterns. In particular, detailed qualitative and quantitative living assemblages was carried out in environments SE Andros Island. Sampling took place at Kastro Korthi Gulf, both located southeastern coast Island depth 1.5 to 18 m, while additional samples were collected outside gulfs 120–180 m. Only ostracods...
Thorough faunal (benthic foraminifera, ostracods, molluscs) and palynomorph analyses as well magnetic susceptibility measurements performed on the Piraeus coastal plain sedimentary sequences have shed light paleoenvironmental evolution of area since ca. 9000 cal BP. Benthic assemblages along with suggest a typical lagoonal environment significant freshwater inputs at eastern part after 8700 Between 7500 5400 BP, microfaunal assemblages, mollusc fauna shallow marine paleoenvironment, forming...
Coastal landscapes are sensitive to changes due the interplay between surface and submarine geological processes, climate variability, relative sea level fluctuations. The sedimentary archives of such marginal areas record in detail complex evolution paleoenvironment diachronic biota response. Elefsis Bay is nowadays a landlocked shallow marine basin with restricted communication open Saronikos Gulf. A multi-proxy investigation high-resolution sediment core recovered from deepest part...
The purpose of this study is to collect micropalaeontological evidence concerning the palaeoenvironmental changes that took place at Southern Evoikos Gulf during Holocene. a shallow epicontinental basin, northern prolongation Cycladic Platform (Western Aegean Sea, Greece). area present research located part gulf. Two cores, DEH 1 and 5, sedimentary record which covers last 13910 cal. yr B.P., were recovered from 70m 75.5m water depth respectively detailed quantitative qualitative ostracod...
Akrotiri Salt Lake is located 5 km west of the city Lemesos in southernmost part island Cyprus. The evolution great scientific interest, occurring during Holocene when eustatic and isostatic movements combined with local active tectonics climate change developed a unique geomorphological environment. today closed lagoon, which depicted Venetian maps as being connected to sea, provides evidence geological setting landscape area. In this study, for first time, we investigated development...
