	abstract = {<div>Akrotiri Salt Lake is located 5km west of the city of Lemesos, in the southern-most part of the\&nbsp;island of Cyprus. The palaeogeographic evolution of the Akrotiri Salt Lake presents a great\&nbsp;scientific interest, especially during the Holocene where the eustatic movements combined\&nbsp;with local active tectonics and climate changes have developed a unique geomorphological\&nbsp;environment. The Salt Lake, today a closed lagoon, which is depicted in Venetian maps\&nbsp;(Bordon AD 1528) as being connected to the sea, can provide evidence of the geological\&nbsp;settings and landscape evolution of the area. In this study, we investigate the development of\&nbsp;Akrotiri Salt Lake through a series of cores which penetrated the Holocene sediment\&nbsp;sequence. Sedimentological, micropaleontological (benthic foraminifera and ostracods)</div>
<div>analyses and geochronological studies performed on deposited sediments, identifying the\&nbsp;complexity of the evolution of the Salt Lake and the progressive change of the area from\&nbsp;maritime space to an open bay and finally to a closed Salt Lake.</div>},
