TLDR
The SELF project as mentioned in this paper was developed and realized in the framework of the Environment Programme designed by the Commission of the European Communities to provide a reliable base for the determination, in the Mediterranean area, of sea-level variations which could then be used as a possible indicator of climate changes and to study the interactions taking place among the ocean, the atmosphere: and the solid Earth.

Nile Delta in its Destruction Phase

Daniel Jean Stanley, +1 more
- 13 Jul 1998 - 
TL;DR: The Nile delta has converted to a destruction phase during the past 150 years, triggered by water regulation which has disrupted the balance among sediment influx, erosive effects of coastal processes, and subsidence as discussed by the authors.

Technological options for adaptation to climate change in coastal zones

Richard J. T. Klein, +5 more
- 27 Jul 2001 - 
TL;DR: This paper briefly describes the four steps of coastal adaptation, identifies three trends in coastal adaptation and associated technology use, and provides important examples of technologies that can be employed to accomplish them.

Vertical land motion as a key to understanding sea level change and variability

Guy Wöppelmann, +1 more
- 01 Mar 2016 - 
TL;DR: In this article, the most successful instrumental methods that have been used to determine vertical displacements at the Earth's surface, so that the objectives of understanding and anticipating sea levels can be addressed adequately in terms of accuracy.

Climate change scenarios and the effect of sea-level rise for Estonia

Are Kont, +2 more
- 01 Mar 2003 - 
TL;DR: In this paper, the main threats in Estonia that could be connected with sea-level rise are the flooding of coastal areas, erosion of sandy beaches and the destruction of harbour constructions.

Active tectonics of the Alpine—Himalayan belt: the Aegean Sea and surrounding regions

Dan McKenzie
- 01 Oct 1978 - 
TL;DR: In this article, the authors show that rapid extension is now taking place in the northern and eastern parts of the Aegean sea region and that the seafloor has been stretched by a factor of two since the Miocene.

Geodesy by radio interferometry: Effects of atmospheric modeling errors on estimates of baseline length

James L. Davis, +4 more
- 01 Nov 1985 - 
TL;DR: In this paper, a new mapping function for the elevation angle dependence of the atmospheric delay is developed, and the delay predicted by this mapping function differs from ray trace results by less than approximately 5 mm, at all elevations down to 5 deg elevation, and introduces errors into the estimates of baseline length.

The relationship between plate motions and seismic moment tensors, and the rates of active deformation in the Mediterranean and Middle East

James Jackson, +1 more
- 01 Apr 1988 - 
TL;DR: In this paper, the relationship between the overall motion across a zone of distributed continental deformation and the seismic moment tensors of earthquakes that occur within it is investigated, and the results are applied to the Mediterranean region to see whether the motion between the relatively rigid regions of central Iran, Turkey, Arabia, Africa, the Adriatic Sea and Eurasia is accommodated seismically within the upper crust of wide deforming zones that bound these regions.

On Postglacial Sea Level

W. E. Farrell, +1 more
- 02 Apr 2007 - 
TL;DR: In this article, an exact method is presented for calculating the changes in sea level that occur when ice and water masses are rearranged on the surface of elastic and viscoelastic non-rotating Earth models.

The tectonic expression slab pull at continental convergent boundaries

Leigh H. Royden
- 01 Apr 1993 - 
TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined five thrust belt systems developed at continental subduction boundaries and found that the distinctive geological features developed within each thrust belt group appear to be causally linked to the relative rates of subduction and convergence via the magnitude of horizontal compressional stress transmitted across the subduction boundary.
