The upper part of the Krka River estuary and Prokljan Lake are a specific example well-stratified estuarine environment in submerged river canyon. Here, we reconstructed geomorphological evolution area classified data gathered study, integrating multibeam echosounder data, backscatter side-scan sonar morpho-bathymetric surveys, acoustic sub-bottom profiling, with addition ground-truthing sedime...

Abstract The soilscapes along the southern and western coast of Crete (Greece) are dominated by coarse-grained reddish-brown slope sediments whose natural (pre-anthropogenic) configuration properties difficult to reconstruct due long history intense land use. As a consequence, datable terrestrial sediment archives pre-anthropogenic genesis scarce. We present preliminary results study performed ...

Traditional ichnofabric-descriptive (semiquantitative) schemes rely upon subjective estimates of the degree to which original sedimentary fabrics have been disrupted. This paper presents an objective method of quantifying bioturbation in hemipelagic sediments based on a thin-section image-analysis technique. In order to perform these analyses, optical or backscattered electron micrographs are p...
