The existence and evolution of a Messinian salt giant in the Mediterranean Sea has caused
much debate in the marine science community. Especially the suggestion that the …

Some of the principles of tidal-wave theory and examples of mega-, macro-, meso-and
microtidal coasts are reviewed, as well as sedimentary successions showing general tidal …

Marine gateways play a critical role in the exchange of water, heat, salt and nutrients
between oceans and seas. As a result, changes in gateway geometry can significantly alter …

According to some authors, the Messinian salinity crisis was ended by a giant waterfall or
megaflood 5.33 million years ago, when the Atlantic Ocean reconnected in a catastrophic …

The North-Betic Strait, located in the Prebetic Zone (outermost part of the Betic Cordillera),
was a narrow seaway connecting the Atlantic Ocean and the Mediterranean Sea through the …

The accurate timing of biogeographic dispersal can be determined by examining the age of
fossiliferous strata on either side of a physical barrier. Here we show that African mammals …

The link between the Mediterranean Sea and the Atlantic Ocean through the Betic Cordillera
(southern Spain) was reduced to a few seaways in the Miocene as the mountain belt uplifted …

New data from the Neogene Boudinar and Arbaa Taourirt basins (northeastern Morocco)
provide constraints on the late Miocene evolution of the North Rifian Corridor. The …

Recent studies highlight the role of the Mediterranean Outflow Water (MOW), in the
intensification of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation and as source of heat and …

Sandstone tidal cross‐strata are the predominant sedimentary feature of strait‐fill
stratigraphic successions. However, although widely described in numerous studies, tidal …
