Mediterranean climate and oceanography, and the periodic development of anoxic events (sapropels)

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a new synthesis of current understanding of the processes behind the formation of sapropels, which have over the past decade also become a matter of commercial interest in sub-salt hydrocarbon exploration.
Journal ArticleDOI

Phthalate Release from Plastic Fragments and Degradation in Seawater.

TL;DR: It is found that light and bacterial exposure increased the total amount of PAEs released from PVC-cables by a factor of up to 5, whereas they had no influence in the case of PE-bags.
Journal ArticleDOI

Evidence of niche partitioning among bacteria living on plastics, organic particles and surrounding seawaters.

TL;DR: Bacterial counts in PMD presented higher cell enrichment factors than generally observed for PA fraction, when compared to FL bacteria in the surrounding waters, and the community distinction between the three habitats was consistent across the large-scale sampling in the Western Mediterranean basin.
Journal Article

Seasonal variability in sea surface oceanographic conditions in the Aegean Sea (Eastern Mediterranean): An overview

TL;DR: In this article, seasonal variability and the spatial distribution of sea surface temperatures (SST) and salinities (SSS) are reviewed, in relation to the prevailing climatological conditions, heat fluxes, water budget and general water circulation patterns.
