SST satellite images analysis has provided us a new description of the surface
circulation in the eastern basin of the Mediterranean Sea. It showed many characteristics
for a lot of mesoscale eddies. In this study, the SST analysis is focalised on
the upwelling
structure showing by images, in the eastern basin of the Mediterranean Sea, which has an
important biological reflection at the marine environment. We have analyzed images for
different periods to identifier this phenomena's places and this will be help us in situ
nutrient observations.
The lithologic and palaeontologic study of the marine Neogene in Salquine
area (NW Of Syria) gave new data which allowed the distinguishing of a
number of lithostratigraphic units and the determination of their ages. This led
to precise lithostrat
igraphic correlations between the studied area and the
neighboring areas, and finally a clear knowledge of the geological evolution of
the area during the Neogene. The stratigraphic distribution of the planktonic
foraminifera in the area showed a perfect agreement with what is known
during the Tethys Neogene. The comparison with the neighboring areas led to
the discovery of an important stratigraphic lacuna in Salquine area during
salinity period of the Upper Miocene of the Mediterranean region.
