Mediterranean sapropels are layers with elevated organic carbon concentrations that
contrast with surrounding sediments, which are organic poor. Sapropels occur (quasi-) …

In this paper, it is proposed that the formation of eastern Mediterranean sapropels occurred
in an anti-estuarine type of circulation, which was to some degree weakened relative to the …

The youngest eastern Mediterranean sapropel (S1) is generally believed to have formed 7–
9 14C ky BP The distribution of redox-sensitive elements above, in and below the sharply …

The sediments of the eastern Mediterranean basin contain Corg-enriched layers (sapropels)
interbedded with the Corg-poor sediments which form by far the greater part of the record …

We present a high-resolution study of benthic foraminiferal abundances in 4 cores from the
central Aegean and NE Levantine Seas, spanning the interval from 30 ka BP to the present …

Lamination is a common feature of shale and other argillaceous rocks. The type of shale
lamination provides an important clue in identifying sedimentary processes when combined …

High-resolution palaeoenvironmental changes, corresponding to a mean time interval of
450 years covering the last 48,000 years, were examined in a core from the Cretan Basin in …

The enhanced accumulation of organic matter in Eastern Mediterranean sapropels and their
unusually low δ 15 N values have been attributed to either enhanced nutrient availability …

Predicting which marine systems are close to abrupt transitions into oxygen‐deficient
conditions (“anoxia”) is notoriously hard but important—as rising temperatures and coastal …
