Palaeoenvironmental research in the Southern Levant presents a series of challenges, partly due to the unequal distribution of palaeoenvironmental records and potential archives throughout the region. Our knowledge of climatic evolution, during the last approximately 25,000 years, is of crucial importance to understand cultural developments. More local, well-dated, multi-proxy studies are much ...

Introduction: Although travertine is now widely used as a building material, the effects of its radiological hazards to public health should be a matter of concern. Therefore, this study aimed to determine its radiological parameters with regard to human health. Material and Methods: In this research 10 travertine samples were collected ...

Banded Ca-carbonate veins in travertine deposits are efficient recorders of the compositional fluctuations geothermal fluids flowing (or flowed) from deep reservoirs up to surface, within fault zones. In this view, these represent key tools for decoding those factors that influenced geochemical variations. We have analyzed developed fractures channeling forming deposits. The studied cut a fossi...

Abstract There is a fundamental interest in studying travertine rocks, and this to understand their structure, geomechanical behavior other particularities order guarantee proper use different engineering architectural applications, thus, evaluate the sustainability of travertines, natural resources, stability slopes, preservation cultural heritage mitigation possible anthropic risks. Travertin...

Travertine/Tufa landscape is an important heritage and ecological wealth given to mankind by nature. itself has excellent scientific aesthetic value, mostly with geological archives such as volcanoes, tectonics, glaciers, well fingerprints referring climate evolution of life. However, these travertine/tufa landscapes also face degradation disappearance caused change, natural disasters, human ac...
