A study of seismicity and earthquake swarms in the Central Mediterranean
… been made of the seismicity taking place in the Central Mediterranean region during the last 7 years (1996 -2002). 118 earthquakes recorded at Wied Dalam Broadband seismic station, Malta, have been studied and the magnitude-frequency statistics were calculated for the whole region. Occurrence of …

Megaturbidites and the late Quaternary regional sedimentology of the eastern and central Mediterranean Sea
The late Quaternary sedimentology of the Mediterranean is controlled primarily by fluctuations in global climate and sea level, and by an overriding compressive regime between the Eurasian and African plates. Local variations in this convergence have led to marked differences in the two regions …

Miocene climate as recorded on slope carbonates : examples from Malta (Central Mediterranean) and Northeastern Australia (Marion Plateau, ODP LEG 194)
Im Rahmen dieser Doktorarbeit wurden die Hangkarbonate von zwei miozänen heterozoischen Karbonatsystemen näher untersucht: die Malta Inselgruppe (zentrales Mittelmeer) und das Marion Plateau (Nordost Australien, ODP Leg 194). Die Auswirkungen der mittelmiozänen Abkühlung (Mi3), die auf 13.6 Ma …

Body size, skeletal biomechanics and habitual behaviour: a bioarchaeological approach to social and economic change in the Neolithic and Copper Age central Mediterranean
The central Mediterranean during the 4th-3rd millennia BC is traditionally considered a period of economic and social transformation between the Neolithic and Bronze Age, characterised by agricultural intensification, technological innovation, and the emergence of gendered society. This project …

Frontex and the diverging interests of particular member states of the EU facing the challenge of irregular migration in the central Mediterranean : case study : Italy and Malta
… as Frontex. The study will focus on the EU's Central Mediterranean member states: Italy and Malta, which means that an elaboration on the idea of burden sharing with regards to irregular migration into the EU will be necessary.

Zircon U-PB and LU-HF isotopic data from some peri-gondwana variscan terranes (Sardinia-Corsica block and calabropeloritan arc): new insights on the cenozoic geodynamic evolution of the central mediterranean basin
… of pre-Variscan plates configuration in the Mediterranean area, is still poorly understood. Different hypotheses have been proposed to explain the relationships between peri-Tyrrhenian blocks such as Sardinia-Corse block (SCB) and Calabrian-Peloritain Arc (CPA), which before the opening of …

Closing “The Mediterranean Cemetry”: whether the European agenda on migration (immediate action) aimed at curbing the Africa-EU migration “crisis” is International Law compliant?
… The generally recognised routes; Western Mediterranean, Central Mediterranean and West African which facilitate the migration are assessed. Lastly, the thesis then analyses the compliance of the EAM (Immediate Action) with international law. Each of the Immediate Actions; 1) Saving Lives …

Human mitochondrial DNA and population structure of the Western Mediterranean Islands
… maternal genetic history of the major western Mediterranean islands, Sardinia, Sicily, and Corsica, through a comparative analysis of ancient and modern mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA). By integrating high-resolution mitogenomic data, the study aims to explore how migration, colonization processes, …

Investigations on the importance of early diagenetic processes for the mineralogical stabilisation and lithification of heterozoan carbonate assemblages : (Oligo-Miocene, Maltese Islands and Sicily)
… this diagenetic environment. As study area the Central Mediterranean, the Maltese Islands and Sicily, was chosen. Here two sections were logged in Olio-Miocene shallow-water carbonates consisting of different kinds of heterozoan assemblages. The study area is very suitable for the investigation …

Evaluating the need for and choice of a seaport hub in the eastern Mediterranean region based on the merits of international logistics - supply chain
… a new strategy for serving the Eastern Mediterranean countries from the Far East region: the choice being via a centrally located seaport hub instead of via Eastern Mediterranean seaport hubs. The author raised several questions in relation to this strategy since shippers experienced …

An integrated geophysical study of the Ionian Basin western margin : new insights on its Permo-Triassic origin
… origin and evolution of the Ionian Basin of the Central Mediterranean have been the subject of intense study and debate in the last three decades. The principal unsettled issues include the nature of the crust underlying the basin, the location of the presumed continent ocean boundary in the …
