“…Consequently, detailed chronostratigraphic study can potentially reveal changes in the environmental conditions during the Quaternary (Huntley et al, 1993(Huntley et al, , 1994Rose et al, 1999;Huntley and Prescott, 2001;Preusser et al, 2002;Munyikwa, 2005;Tripaldi and Forman, 2007;Amorosi et al, 2009;Fitzsimmons et al, 2009;Roskin et al, 2011a;Brooke et al, 2014;Bristow, 2015a, 2015b). Coastal stratigraphic studies have been conducted across the Mediterranean basin, in Spain (Fornós et al, 2009;Mauz et al, 2012), Sardinia Thiel et al, 2010), Tunisia (Mauz et al, 2009(Mauz et al, , 2012Elmejdoub et al, 2011), Cyprus (Tsakalos, 2016) and Egypt (El-Asmar, 1994;El-Asmar and Wood, 2000 on the correlation between dune formation and late Quaternary sea level oscillation, while less attention has been given to the coastal geomorphic response to climate, aeolian and alluvial processes.…”

The stratigraphic architecture of coastal plains is determined by the interactions between local (e.g. fluvial processes and topography), regional (e.g. climate) and global (e.g. sea level) forcing factors, primarily during the Late Quaternary Period. Detailed stratigraphic and sedimentological analyses of boreholes, cored between coastal ridges in the lowlands, coupled with optically stimulated luminescence (OSL) dating, and integrated with existing onshore and offshore databases, has enabled a 4-D reconstruction of the evolution of the coast of Israel during the last glacial-interglacial cycle. This model revealed that Nilotic-sourced littoral sand, intermittently transported inland by wind, has either been lithified into aeolianite or pedogenized into orange-brown palaeosol from about 100 ka to 8 ka. Dark silty clay wetlands were deposited between the aeolian coastal ridges adjacent to streams which cut the Israeli coastal plain and flow westward, from the Last Glacial Maximum until the onset of the Holocene. These units are topped by beach and aeolian quartz sand dated to 6.6-0.1 ka. Diachronous thicknesses and lithological dissimilarities were identified between the sections studied and previous reports on adjacent coastal aeolianite ridges. Streams were found to be a dominant control on the stratigraphical composition and related facies architecture due to fluvial-induced erosion. Consequently, the relief variations between the lowland and cliff controlled aeolian pedogenesis as well as alluvial processes from about 80 to 5 ka. Climate, mainly influenced by precipitation and dust input, induced pedogenic processes; while sea level lowstand during the Last Glacial Maximum is shown to have hindered sediment deposition in the shallow offshore, which in turn affected aeolian transport, reducing sediment accumulation on the palaeo-coastal plain. The palaeoenvironmental model presented in the current study serves as an example for understanding the evolution of similar low-latitude siliciclastic-rich low-gradient shelf-coastal areas during the last glacial-interglacial cycle. Furthermore, it demonstrates the influence of local to global forcing factors on these environments.

“…The generally accepted regional hydrogeological framework [28][29][30][31][32][33][34][35][36][37][38][39][40] is based on the so-called "confined multilayered aquifer" system [33], and is formed by two main confined aquifers, hosted in coarse sediments, sands, and gravels. These are separated by clay-rich layers or are locally connected in areas without clay units.…”

Shallow, low-temperature geothermal resources can significantly reduce the environmental impact of heating and cooling. Based on a replicable standard workflow for three-dimensional (3D) geothermal modeling, an approach to the assessment of geothermal energy potential is proposed and applied to the young sedimentary basin of Pisa (north Tuscany, Italy), starting from the development of a geothermal geodatabase, with collated geological, stratigraphic, hydrogeological, geophysical and thermal data. The contents of the spatial database are integrated and processed using software for geological and geothermal modeling. The models are calibrated using borehole data. Model outputs are visualized as three-dimensional reconstructions of the subsoil units, their volumes and depths, the hydrogeological framework, and the distribution of subsoil temperatures and geothermal properties. The resulting deep knowledge of subsoil geology would facilitate the deployment of geothermal heat pump technology, site selection for well doublets (for open-loop systems), or vertical heat exchangers (for closed-loop systems). The reconstructed geological-hydrogeological models and the geothermal numerical simulations performed help to define the limits of sustainable utilization of an area's geothermal potential.
