    DESERTMED a Project About the Deserted Islands of the Mediterranean

    DESERTMED A project about the deserted islands of the Mediterranean The islands, and all the more so the deserted island, is an extremely poor or weak notion from the point of view of geography. This is to it’s credit. The range of islands has no objective unity, and deserted islands have even less. The deserted island may indeed have extremely poor soil. Deserted, the is- land may be a desert, but not necessarily. The real desert is uninhabited only insofar as it presents no conditions that by rights would make life possible, weather vegetable, animal, or human. On the contrary, the lack of inhabitants on the deserted island is a pure fact due to the circumstance, in other words, the island’s surroundings. The island is what the sea surrounds. What is de- serted is the ocean around it. It is by virtue of circumstance, for other reasons that the principle on which the island depends, that the ships pass in the distance and never come ashore.“ (from: Gilles Deleuze, Desert Island and Other Texts, Semiotext(e),Los Angeles, 2004) DESERTMED A project about the deserted islands of the Mediterranean Desertmed is an ongoing interdisciplina- land use, according to which the islands ry research project.

New observations, contribution of the earthquakes, 4 crustal blocks model. 5 6 Briole, P., Ganas, A., Elias, P & Dimitrov, D. 7 8 SUMMARY 9 10 The analysis of the secular component of the velocity field of the Aegean presented, discussed and 11 modelled in the main text, requires the accurate determination of the transient part of the velocity 12 field. This transient part is dominated by the coseismic displacements produced by the major 13 earthquakes that occurred in the area during the analysed time window. Another significant 14 component is due to the postseismic relaxations associated with those earthquakes. In this 15 supplementary material we review the coseismic and postseismic displacements induced by the 16 crustal earthquakes of magnitude Mw ≥ 5.3 during the period 2000-2020. In addition, several GPS 17 stations have their time series disrupted by other sources of transients with different origins, that we 18 also present and discuss. Once the transient velocity field is estimated it can be removed from the 19 total velocity field to extract what can be considered as the secular velocity field. We discuss the 20 gradients of this secular velocity field as they are measured along three sections originated at the 21 Euler pole of rotation Anatolia-Eurasia. 22 23 24 S1.

Anselmetti Received: 21 September 2017 / Accepted: 23 March 2018 / Published online: 3 May 2018 Ó Swiss Geological Society 2018 Abstract Franchthi Cave, bordering Kiladha Bay, in Greece, is a key archaeological site, due to its long occupation time, from * 40,000 to * 5000 year BP. To date, no clear evidence of Neolithic human dwellings in the cave was found, supporting the assumption that Neolithic people may have built a village where there is now Kiladha Bay. During the Neolithic period/Early Holocene, wide areas of the bay were indeed emerged above sea level. Bathymetric and seismic data identified a terrace incised by a valley in * 1 to 2 m sediment depth. Eight sediment cores, up to 6.3-m-long, were retrieved and analysed using petrophysical, sedimentological, geochemical, and chronostratigraphic methods.

    Introduction Acknowledgements

    10 11 Acknowledgements Introduction General geography of Greece Greece is a relatively small country, and with a surface area of 132,000 km2 it is only half as big as the UK. Encompassed, however, in this modest area, is a great diversity of habitats, exceeding many European countries of much larger size. For example, one can encounter in Epirus alpine areas complete with lush conifer forests, dramatic peaks and extensive snowfields that physiographically resemble Switzerland. On the other hand, some regions of the southern Aegean are closer to Africa than to Athens, and their climate and habitats reflect this proximity. Southeastern Crete for example, con- tains one of the few true European deserts, an area closely resembling certain hamma- da regions of the Middle East. Greece is a country of mountains and islands. The Pindos range, an extension of the Dinaric Alps, forms the backbone of peninsular Greece. A number of smaller mountains originate as spurs from this block, although some, including Mount Olympus, the highest mountain in Greece (2,917 m elevation) arise in relative isola- tion. A second major mountain block, the Rhodopes, located in Thrace, runs in a roughly east-west direction separating Greece and Bulgaria. The Peloponnese, a small- er peninsula in the south, is as mountainous as the mainland and encompasses several peaks exceeding 2,000 m in elevation. With the exception of a few large flat regions located mostly in Thessaly and Thrace, the country lacks extensive plains. Typically the mountains drop rather steeply into the sea and are generally flanked only by narrow coastal plains.
