TLDR
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.About:

Multiproxy assessment of Holocene relative sea-level changes in the western Mediterranean: Sea-level variability and improvements in the definition of the isostatic signal
Matteo Vacchi,Nick Marriner,Christophe Morhange,Giorgio Spada,Alessandro Fontana,Alessio Rovere +5 more
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: In this paper, an original review of both the geo-scientific and archaeological data that specifically relate to sea-level changes and resulting impacts on both physical and cultural landscapes from the Palaeolithic until the emergence of the Classical periods is presented.

Production et diffusion des amphores tardo-puniques en Méditerranée occidentale : l’apport des contextes de la Gaule méridionale
TL;DR: In this paper, a group of archeologie espagnole les a rassemble dans a meme groupe, celui des amphores tardo-puniques, composed of cinq classes of conteneurs, du fait de leurs chronologies commune and d'une mixite des traits typomorphologiques commune, entre les traditions pheniciennes du detroit, puniques et romaines.

Multi-decadal variations in delta shorelines and their relationship to river sediment supply: An assessment and review
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors quantified the changes in delta shoreline mobility and resulting subaerial coastal area changes of a selection of 54 of the world’s deltas over 30 years based on data culled from the literature and from satellite images.

Climate Change 2001: Impacts, Adaptation, and Vulnerability
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors set the stage for impact, adaptation, and vulnerability assessment of climate change in the context of sustainable development and equity, and developed and applied scenarios in Climate Change Impact, Adaptation, and Vulnerability Assessment.
Book
Climate change 2007 : impacts, adaptation and vulnerability
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a cross-chapter case study on climate change and sustainability in natural and managed systems and assess key vulnerabilities and the risk from climate change, and assess adaptation practices, options, constraints and capacity.

A long-term numerical solution for the insolation quantities of the Earth
Jacques Laskar,Philippe Robutel,F. Joutel,Mickael Gastineau,Alexandre C. M. Correia,Alexandre C. M. Correia,Benjamin Levrard +6 more
TL;DR: In this article, a new solution for the astronomical computation of the insolation quantities on Earth spanning from −250 m to 250 m was presented, where the most regular components of the orbital solution could still be used over a much longer time span, which is why they provided here the solution over 250 m.

Climate change hot-spots
TL;DR: The Regional Climate Change Index (RCCI) as discussed by the authors is developed based on regional mean precipitation change, mean surface air temperature change, and change in precipitation and temperature interannual variability.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present an assessment of 33 deltas chosen to represent the world's Deltas and find that in the past decade, 85% of them experienced severe flooding, resulting in the temporary submergence of 260,000 km2.
