Research finds sea level rising almost 40% faster than global average, water is saltier, and invasive species comprise more than half the prey caught in sampling nets The post The Eastern Mediterranean is heating twice as fast as the global average – report appeared first on The Times of Israel.

"The Zanclean megaflood was an awe-inspiring natural phenomenon dwarfing any other known floods in Earth's history," an expert said.

Researchers identified geological features that point to a single massive flooding event that refilled the Mediterranean Sea 5.33 million years ago

The body of a 3-year-old was plucked from the sea during the rescue on Sunday, while a 2-year-old died on board the rescue vessel, the group said.

In a groundbreaking study, researchers unveiled compelling evidence of the Zanclean Megaflood, a colossal event that refilled the Mediterranean Sea in mere years, reshaping its landscape with unprecedented water flow and velocities.

The Russian cargo ships Sparta and Sparta II have begun transporting military equipment out of the Syrian port of Tartus, Russia’s only naval base in the Mediterranean Sea, satellite images published by journalist Mark Krutov show.

The authors also found evidence of w-shaped flood channels using seismic data and developed computer models to simulate how the flood waters would’ve refilled the Mediterranean Basin. This model shows that flooding could have reached speeds of 72 miles per hour, carving deep channels as observed in the seismic data.

Scientists confirm a massive flood rapidly refilled the Mediterranean, drastically reshaping landscapes and altering geography in just years.

Russia’s crucial diesel attack submarines can likely no longer operate in the Mediterranean Sea, after Moscow appears to have been kicked out of its naval base in the Syrian port of Tartus.

A German rescue group says three young African brothers drowned making the perilous central Mediterranean crossing with their parents.

A study provides compelling new evidence that a colossal "megaflood" refilled the Mediterranean Sea, ending a period during which the Mediterranean was a vast expanse of salt flats. The research suggests the Zanclean Megaflood ended the Messinian Salinity Crisis,

Evidence of the Zanclean Deluge, the ancient megaflood that transformed the Mediterranean Sea into what it is now, was discovered in Sicily.
