TL;DR: In this paper, the Po Plain-Adriatic Sea system is tracked for the first time from fluvial to deep-marine realms, over 1000 km in length, with the aid of a chronologically well-constrained stratigraphy.

TL;DR: In this paper, a review of geochronological and historical data documents that the largest southern European deltas formed almost synchronously during two short intervals of enhanced anthropic pressure on landscapes, respectively during the Roman Empire and the Little Ice Age, driven by two markedly different reasons: after the Romans, the fall of the population and new afforestation let soil erosion in river catchments return to natural background levels; since the industrial revolution, instead, flow regulation through river dams overkill a still increasing sediment production in catchment basins.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used high-resolution seafloor data (multibeam echosounder data, seismic reflection profiles, and bottom samples to reconstruct ~ 300 km2 of this submerged Maltese paleolandscape.

TL;DR: In particular, the central Adriatic middle TST unit (mTST), composed of two prograding sedimentary wedges separated by an erosional surface, appears the most complex of the three TST units as discussed by the authors, formed during an interval of extreme climatic instability, including the Bolling-Allerod and the Younger Dryas-Holocene transition.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated clinothem stacking patterns and controls through the integration of seismic reflection data with sediment attributes, micropaleontology, regional climate, eustacy, and high-resolution age control possible only in Quaternary sequences.
