Fine grained clastic sediments are very common in the interior deposits of ancient
epicontinental seas. Not only do they make up the gross lithology in these basins, but they …

In understanding the evolution of siliciclastic systems, Late Quaternary analogs may enable
reliable predictive models of facies-tract architecture. The Po Plain–Adriatic Sea system …

Microplastic research has mainly concentrated on open seas, while riverine plumes remain
largely unexplored despite their hypothesized importance as a microplastic source to …

Long-term data series (1971–2015) of physical and biogeochemical parameters were
analyzed in order to assess trends and variability of oceanographic conditions in the …

Prokaryotes in coastal sediments are fundamental players in the ecosystem functioning and
regulate processes relevant in the global biogeochemical cycles. Nevertheless, knowledge …

Environmental measurements generate great volumes of high-dimensional data (often noisy
and with missing values) from which meaningful messages may be extracted through …

Abstract The Self‐Organizing Map (SOM), an unsupervised learning neural network, is
employed to extract patterns evinced by the Loop Current (LC) system and to identify …

Continental interiors were flooded by epeiric seas during many intervals of the geologic
past. Few modern analogs exist for these environments, however, and basic variables such …

Coastal areas are especially prone to plastic debris, being subjected to various land-and
sea-based sources. Nevertheless, knowledge about microplastic distribution on beaches is …

Understanding the water circulation in oceans and coastal seas is among the key topics of
oceanographic and climate research. Hydrodynamic studies form the basis for many …
