Marine heatwaves (MHWs) are prolonged periods of exceptionally warm temperatures in the
ocean, which have forced profound transformations in marine biodiversity and socio …

The present review constitutes an updated and integrated assessment of phytoplankton
spatiotemporal dynamics in the Aegean Sea, based on data compiled from numerous …

A major change in winter sea surface heat loss between two key Mediterranean dense water
formation sites, the North–West Mediterranean (NWMed) and the Aegean Sea, since 1950 is …

This study examines the impact of different turbidity products on the Aegean Sea surface
physical characteristics, by performing twin-experiment simulations using a high-resolution …

Purpose The objective of this work is to study environmental changes and contamination
during the last century in a semi-closed marine system, by performing measurements on the …

This chapter illustrates the main characteristics of the dense/deep water formation processes
occurring in the Mediterranean Sea and basin-wide vertical circulation. These processes are …

Phytoplankton is a fundamental component of marine food webs and play a crucial role in
marine ecosystem functioning. The phenology (timing of growth) of these microscopic algae …

This overview presents the different water masses present in the various primary and
secondary marine regions of the Mediterranean Sea and Black Sea, providing information …

This chapter is an introduction to the book “The Aegean Sea Environment: The Natural
System,” which is the first book of the two-volume issue with the second volume entitled “The …

Abstract The Black Sea Waters (BSW) exported into the Aegean Sea largely control its
overturning circulation as well as the regional biogeochemical characteristics. Observational …
