The fields extend immediately from&amp;nbsp;the low level of their source beaches onto higher ground (&amp;gt; 38m amsl). Geomorphic&amp;nbsp;observation supported by OSL dating of multimineral sand horizons demonstrate several&amp;nbsp;phases of sand accumulation in the western field in contrast to the smaller eastern system,&amp;nbsp;where the evidence direct to a relatively recent dune emplacement. The effects of climatic&amp;nbsp;change, relative sea-level change and anthropogenic influence in dune evolution, have been&amp;nbsp;evaluated in both sites in combination with documented evidence of human induced&amp;nbsp;destabilization of the western sand dune field during the 1970s and 1980s. Both fields share&amp;nbsp;similar topographic settings and situated in close proximity but they do not share an entirely&amp;nbsp;similar evolution history. The&amp;nbsp; οbservations and the data suggest the combination of local and&amp;nbsp;regional control of the development of the sand dunes and the geochronological analysis with&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;luminescence methodology support the ability of the method to reconstruct the evolution of&amp;nbsp;sand dunes fields in the eastern Mediterranean area.&lt;/div&gt;</style></abstract></record></records></xml>
