TL;DR: In this article, the authors explore the interactions between geosystems and the human environment, and identify anthropogenic signatures in clastic coastal sedimentary archives, including base-level deltaic and estuarine sedimentary sinks, to understand the life cycle of these deltas.

TL;DR: A review of 917 relative sea-level (RSL) data-points has resulted in the first quality-controlled database constraining the Holocene sea level histories of the western Mediterranean Sea (Spain, France, Italy, Slovenia, Croatia, Malta and Tunisia) as discussed by the authors.

TL;DR: A review article as mentioned in this paper discusses how ancient Mediterranean harbours have come to be preserved in the geological record; expound the basic principles and palaeoenvironmental tools underpinning ancient harbour geoarchaeology; outline some of the most significant research advances made; and discuss a new chrono-stratigraphic model applicable to harbour sequences.

TL;DR: In the ancient harbor of Marseilles, marine fauna fixed upon archaeological structures as well as bio-sedimentary units document a 1.5m steady rise in relative sea level during the past 5000 years, followed by a near stable level at present datum from about 1500 years AD to the last century as discussed by the authors.

TL;DR: The importance of Pozzuoli9s archaeological ruins in linking sea level change and Earth deformation with volcanic activity has been recognized since the nineteenth century as mentioned in this paper, and radiocarbon dated biological indicators on these remains, showing three 7 m relative sea-level highstands during the fifth century A.D., the early Middle Ages, and before the 1538 eruption of Monte Nuovo.
