  • Dual Naming of Sea Areas in Modern Atlases and Implications for the East Sea/Sea of Japan Case
    Dual naming of sea areas in modern atlases and implications for the East Sea/Sea of Japan case Rainer DORMELS* Dual naming is, to varying extents, present in nearly all atlases. The empirical research in this paper deals with the dual naming of sea areas in about 20 atlases from different nations in the years from 2006 to 2017. Objective, quality, and size of the atlases and the country where the atlases originated from play a key role. All these characteristics of the atlases will be taken into account in the paper. In the cases of dual naming of sea areas, we can, in general, differentiate between: cases where both names are exonyms, cases where both names are endonyms, and cases where one name is an endonym, while the other is an exonym. The goal of this paper is to suggest a typology of dual names of sea areas in different atlases. As it turns out, dual names of sea areas in atlases have different functions, and in many atlases, dual naming is not a singular exception. Dual naming may help the users of atlases to orientate themselves better. Additionally, dual naming allows for providing valuable information to the users. Regarding the naming of the sea between Korea and Japan present study has achieved the following results: the East Sea/Sea of Japan is the sea area, which by far showed the most use of dual naming in the atlases examined, in all cases of dual naming two exonyms were used, even in atlases, which allow dual naming just in very few cases, the East Sea/Sea of Japan is presented with dual naming.

Biodiversity Data Journal 8: e47183. https://doi.org/10.3897/BDJ.8.e47183 Abstract Background The checklist of Stomatopoda of Greece was developed in the framework of the LifeWatchGreece Research Infrastructure (ESFRI) project, coordinated by the Institute of Marine Biology, Biotechnology and Aquaculture (IMBBC) of the Hellenic Centre for Marine Research (HCMR). The application of the Greek Taxon Information System (GTIS) of this project has been used in order to develop a complete checklist of species recorded from the Greek Seas. The objectives of the present study were to update and cross-check all the stomatopod species that are known to occur in the Greek Seas. Inaccuracies and omissions were also investigated, according to literature and current taxonomic status. New information The up-to-date checklist of Stomatopoda of Greece comprises nine species, classified to eight genera and three families.

  • Gondwana Breakup Via Double-Saloon-Door Rifting and Seafloor Spreading in a Backarc Basin During Subduction Rollback
    Available online at www.sciencedirect.com Tectonophysics 445 (2007) 245–272 www.elsevier.com/locate/tecto Gondwana breakup via double-saloon-door rifting and seafloor spreading in a backarc basin during subduction rollback A.K. Martin Repsol YPF Exploración, Al Fattan Plaza, PO Box 35700, Dubai, United Arab Emirates Received 2 February 2007; received in revised form 4 July 2007; accepted 21 August 2007 Available online 28 August 2007 Abstract A model has been developed where two arc-parallel rifts propagate in opposite directions from an initial central location during backarc seafloor spreading and subduction rollback. The resultant geometry causes pairs of terranes to simultaneously rotate clockwise and counterclockwise like the motion of double-saloon-doors about their hinges. As movement proceeds and the two terranes rotate, a gap begins to extend between them, where a third rift initiates and propagates in the opposite direction to subduction rollback. Observations from the Oligocene to Recent Western Mediterranean, the Miocene to Recent Carpathians, the Miocene to Recent Aegean and the Oligocene to Recent Caribbean point to a two-stage process. Initially, pairs of terranes comprising a pre-existing retro-arc fold thrust belt and magmatic arc rotate about poles and accrete to adjacent continents. Terrane docking reduces the width of the subduction zone, leading to a second phase during which subduction to strike-slip transitions initiate. The clockwise rotated terrane is caught up in a dextral strike-slip zone, whereas the counterclockwise rotated terrane is entrained in a sinistral strike-slip fault system. The likely driving force is a pair of rotational torques caused by slab sinking and rollback of a curved subduction hingeline.

  • AC Greece FINAL Copy
    ANCIENT GREECE 1 The ancient Greeks lived in an area along the northeastern Mediterranean Sea, with a wide variety of topography: mainland, peninsulas and many islands. Because of this location, it was natural that the Greeks became active in trade by sea. The first civilization in ancient Greece was located on the island of Crete. Named after a King Minos, this culture became known as the Minoans. Even these early people were sailors who traded in the Mediterranean. Eventually the culture came to an end when a nearby volcano on the island of Thera erupted and destroyed much of the island. It is thought that early Mycenaeans arrived in Greece from the Middle East around 2000 BCE. Their culture grew, similar to the Minoans, but the Mycenaeans were more war-like . They took control of the city of Troy, reaching it by sea. The Trojan War occurred during this period. The age of the city-states was between 1100 to 700 BC. Only a few cities had kings, and others were moving towards democracy, where each person had a vote in matters of state. The wealth of the Greeks grew as they traded more widely in the Mediterranean. Athens was the greatest city of its time. As time went on, in the years of 600 BCE, the Greeks sailed around the Mediterranean establishing colonies. As the Persians grew in strength as a civilization, they tried to conquer Greece. Alexander the Great fought both the Persians and the Greeks and expanded his empire over a huge area that included the Middle East to the borders of India.
