TL;DR: In this article, a review of current functioning and responses of Mediterranean marine biogeochemical cycles and ecosystems with respect to key natural and anthropogenic drivers and to consider the ecosystems' responses to likely changes in physical, chemical and socio-economical forcings induced by global change and by growing anthropogenic pressure at the regional scale.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors identify the origin of groundwater salinity and the geochemical processes occurring in this coastal confined aquifer according to the degree of salinity using a natural tracing approach.

TL;DR: In this article, an analysis of sedimentological, sediment trap and hydrological data was performed to investigate the transport and fate of particulate matter in the Gulf of Lions, showing the influence of the general cyclonic circulation on the dispersion of land-derived particulates.

TL;DR: In this article, Pb-210, Cs-137 and Cs134 profiles were determined on 13 box-cores from the Rhone submarine delta (northwestern Mediterranean Sea). Maximum accumulation rates were estimated using the Pb210 dating method or the evolution of the Cs137/Cs-134 activity ratio with depth in the sediment.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors determined dissolved and particulate major and trace element concentrations and suspended particulate contents of the lower Rhone River (France) from subsurface water samples collected about twice a month and more regularly during flood events.
