Our analytical catalogue contains information on many thousands of folklore and mythological texts. The systemic approach to this material argues in favor an African origin episodes images that were recorded sub-Saharan Africa, the Indo-Pacific border Asia America but are absent continental Eurasia. Such a pattern corresponds genetic archaeological data concerning early spread modern human from...

The number of subduction zones that facilitated the northward translation Anatolide-Tauride continental terrane derived from Gondwana to southern margin Eurasia at longitude western Turkey is debated. We hypothesized if two north dipping incipient collision in Turkey, a late Cretaceous arc would have formed within Neotethys and along Eurasia. To determine an island we investigated sedimentary r...

Increasing frequency and intensity of heatwaves (HWs) in a warming climate exert catastrophic impacts on human society natural environment. However, spatiotemporal variations HW their driving factors still remain obscure, especially for changes over Eurasia, the region with largest population world. Here we provide systematic investigation Eurasia quantify contributions different anthropogenic ...

Abstract Boreal summer extratropical intraseasonal oscillation (EISO) is crucial in modulating regional subseasonal variation and particularly causing extreme meteorological events, but it has yet to be well clarified operationally monitored. This study first objectively sorts out three dominant EISOs trapped along two westerly jet streams over Eurasia, then proposes the corresponding real-time...

Abstract This study investigates the relationship between central tropical Pacific (CTP) sea surface temperature (SST) and air (SAT) variability un-related to canonical El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) over mid-to-high latitude Eurasia during boreal summers past half-century. The results show that their experienced a decadal shift around early 1980s. Before 1980s, Eurasian SAT-CTP SST connec...

Tectonic activity in the Mediterranean area (involving migrations of old orogenic belts, formation basins and building systems) has been determined by convergence confining plates (Nubia, Arabia Eurasia). Such mainly accommodated consumption oceanic thinned continental domains, triggered lateral escapes wedges. Here, we argue that implications above basic concepts can allow plausible explanatio...
