Interdisciplinary Meeting on Climate Change and Seismic Hazards During the Holocene in the Mediterranean, France. |
| Abstract: | The PaleoMed project, supported by the French National Research Agency (ANR), incorporates a multi-disciplinary team with the aim of establishing various aspects related to the Maltese Archipelago’s Holocene environment through the study of a series of cores. Various bodies of environmental evidence have been investigated for this project including sediments, charcoal and molluscs. Through this poster the results from pollen samples extracted from two cores will be compared. Both cores were extracted from Burmarrad, which is the second largest flood plain on Malta. All studied sections have been carbon dated to 7200-3200BP. Results from this site provide clear indication of the vegetation dynamics during this period as well as suggesting possible climatic changes and anthropogenic influences. |
