Review

This paper, titled "HABITAT MAPPING AND PALAEO-SEALEVELS OF THE LAST GLACIAL MAXIMUM COASTLINE ON THE SAN PIETRO CONTINENTAL SHELF (SW SARDINIA)," addresses a highly relevant and intriguing topic within Quaternary geology, marine geomorphology, and palaeo-environmental reconstruction. The study's focus on the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM) coastline in a specific, yet globally significant, Mediterranean region promises valuable insights into past sea-level fluctuations and their impact on coastal ecosystems. The combination of habitat mapping and palaeo-sealevel analysis is particularly welcome, suggesting a holistic approach to understanding submerged landscapes and their evolution during a period of drastic climatic and eustatic change. However, with the abstract being entirely absent, it is impossible to critically evaluate the core components of the research. Crucial details regarding the methodology employed for habitat mapping (e.g., remote sensing techniques, ground-truthing), the approach to reconstructing palaeo-sealevels (e.g., seismic stratigraphy, core analysis, dating methods), the specific types of habitats identified, or the robustness of the LGM coastline reconstruction are entirely missing. Therefore, it is impossible to comment on the novelty of the findings, the rigor of the data analysis, the clarity of the results, or the strength of the conclusions drawn, which are all fundamental aspects of a scientific paper review. Based solely on the promising title, the full manuscript would need to convincingly demonstrate a sound methodological framework, present clear and well-supported results for both habitat mapping and palaeo-sealevel reconstruction, and offer a robust interpretation of the LGM coastline in the San Pietro Continental Shelf. A comprehensive discussion linking these elements to broader regional and global palaeo-environmental contexts would significantly enhance its contribution. While the topic holds significant potential for advancing our understanding of submerged landscapes and past climatic impacts, a thorough assessment requires the provision of the full abstract detailing the research's scope and key findings.
