TL;DR: In this article, new palaeogeographic and archaeological data from the prehistoric cave Vela Spila on the island of Korcula in Croatia are combined with new realizations of two glacial isostatic adjustment models in order to present relative sea level change scenarios confronting the inhabitants of the cave at different time slices and to show how they experienced and adapted to sea-level and climate change from the Late Pleistocene through the Holocene.

TL;DR: In this paper, the results of swim surveys in nine rocky coastal sectors in the central Mediterranean Sea using the Geoswim approach were presented, and they showed that the feasibility of applying such markers to define long-term tectonic behaviour is much higher in areas where pre-modern indicators have not been erased, such as at sites with hard bedrock previously covered by post-Marine Isotope Stage 5.5 continental deposits, e.g., Sardinia, the Egadi Islands, Ansedonia, Gaeta, and Circeo.

Multi-month sedimentological characterization of the backshore of an artificial coarse-clastic beach in Italy
TL;DR: In this article, a sedimentologic characterization of an artificial coarse-clastic beach at Marina di Pisa (Tuscany, Italy) is carried out within a 5-month timespan (October 2018-February 2019).

Guy Sisma-Ventura,Fabrizio Antonioli,Sergio Silenzi,S. Devoti,Paolo Montagna,Renato Chemello,Aldo Shemesh,Ruth Yam,Roland Gehrels,Silas Dean,G. Rilov,Dorit Sivan +11 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the vertical uncertainties of the vermetid reefs were evaluated along a Mediterranean east-west transect, in an attempt to explain the differences found in both growth rates and uncertainties.
