The mediterranean sea we want

open58siThis paper presents major gaps and challenges for implementing the UN Decade of Ocean Science for Sustainable Development (2021-2030) in the Mediterranean region. The authors make recommendations on the scientific knowledge needs and co-design actions identified during two consultations, part of the Decade preparatory-phase, framing them in the Mediterranean Sea’s unique environmental and socio-economic perspectives. According to the ‘Mediterranean State of the Environment and Development Report 2020’ by the United Nations Environment Programme Mediterranean Action Plan and despite notable progress, the Mediterranean region is not on track to achieve and fully implement the Sustainable Development Goals of Agenda 2030. Key factors are the cumulative effect of multiple human-induced pressures that threaten the ecosystem resources and services in the global change scenario. The basin, identified as a climate change vulnerability hotspot, is exposed to pollution and rising impacts of climate change. This affects mainly the coastal zones, at increasing risk of extreme events and their negative effects of unsustainable management of key economic assets. Transitioning to a sustainable blue economy is the key for the marine environment’s health and the nourishment of future generations. This challenging context, offering the opportunity of enhancing the knowledge to define science-based measures as well as narrowing the gaps between the Northen and Southern shores, calls for a joint (re)action. The paper reviews the state of the art of Mediterranean Sea science knowledge, sets of trends, capacity development needs, specific challenges, and recommendations for each Decade’s societal outcome. In the conclusions, the proposal for a Mediterranean regional programme in the framework of the Ocean Decade is addressed.

The Jurassic to Lower Cretaceous sequences in the wells Abu Hammad-1, Q-71-IX and Kabrit-1, north Eastern Desert of Egypt, have yielded palynofacies assemblages of varying composition. Seven palynofacies types which are environmentally controlled are identified and the source rock potential is evaluated. Eight formations are paleoecologically studied using spores, pollen grains, dinoflagellate cysts and other paniculate organic matter. The lower part of the Rajabiah Formation (Toarcian-Aalenian) was formed in shallow marginal marine or sabkha environment, while the upper part of the Rajabiah and the Shusha formations were deposited in shallow marine environment (inner shelf) under warm subtropical climatic conditions. The deposition of the Bir Maghara Formation is believed to be deposited in shallow marine environment of the inner to middle shelf. The deposition of the mixed clastic and carbonate sequence of the Khatatba Formation (Bathonian-Callovian) was took place in the middle to outer shelf conditions (30-100 m). The Masajid Formation (latest Callovian-Kimmeridgian) is a massive carbonates succession with intercalated shales that was deposited in normal marine conditions of the outer shelf to upper slope (100-600 m). The siliciclastic deposits of the Alam El Bueib Formation (Barremian-Aptian) were accumulated in near shore to inner shelf (<30 m) environment, under arid to semiarid conditions. The deposition of the Alamein Formation (Aptian) may have taken place in shallow marine environment of the middle shelf, while the elastics of the Kharita Formation (Lower Albian) may have been deposited in the inner shelf environment. Spore/pollen colour is used to discriminate the organic maturation levels and thermal alteration for theيتناول هذا البحث نتائج السمحنة العضوية البالينولوجية لصخور عصري الجووامي والطباشيري السفلي التحمت سطحية لابار أبوحماد

Late Cretaceous Palynology and Paleoenvironment of the Razzak-3 Well, North Western Desert, Egypt

Palynological analysis of the Bahariya and Abu Roash Formations from the Razzak-3 (RZ-3) well, North Western Desert, Egypt, has yielded rich and very-well-diversified spores, pollen and dinoflagellate cysts which allow subdividing the studied rock units into four pollen/spore (PS) zones and three dinoflagellate cyst (D) zones. Miospores are abundant in the Cenomanian, while dinoflagellates predominate the Turonian-Santonian. A barren interzone delineates the oceanic anoxic event 2 and embraces member “F” of the Abu Roash Formation. The marine/nonmarine palynomorph ratio in the studied samples indicate that the Bahariya Formation was deposited in a nearshore paleoenvironment affected by continental sources with an arid to semiarid hinterland having local or seasonal humid conditions. Deposition of the Abu Roash Formation took place in the transitional zone between the inner and outer shelf. Dinoflagellate cysts in this study are of the Tethyan Realm
