We discovered a volcaniclastic layer in the Plio-Pleistocene coastal sequences on the island of Rhodes (Aegean fore-arc, Greece). Here, we present an integrated isotopic, magnetostratigraphic, and biostratigraphic (planktonic foraminifers) study for the Haraki section, where this layer is found intercalated in several meters of sedimentary...

Phylogenetic studies of present-day terrestrial organisms suggest that faunal dispersals between South America and the Greater Antilles may have occurred during the Cenozoic through the Lesser Antilles. However, because of the lack of geological data to unravel the areas that may have emerged along the Lesser Antilles trench, the migration...

The Melilla carbonate complex (NE Morocco) is the only area of the Paleo-Mediterranean Sea where volcanic activity was present throughout most of the Messinian. 40Ar/39Ar dating of volcanic tuffs interbedded within the upper Messinian sedimentary deposits, known as the Terminal Carbonate Complex (TCC), yields accurate ages of paleoenvironmental...

The Lesser Caucasus in Armenia is an active volcanic and tectonic zone which resulted from the collision of the Arabian and the Eurasian plates since Neogene times. The During Quaternary, Lesser Caucasus was uplifted (0.3 mm/yr; Mitchell and Westaway, 1999) and experienced extensional tectonics times. Large lakes developed in graben structures....

Seismic hazard levels used as reference for the French Lesser Antilles are derived fromprobabilistic seismic hazard assessment studies performed in 2002. However, scientificknowledge has greatly increased over the past 20 years in this area, warranting an update of the seismic hazard models. As part of a project linking the French Ministry of...
