| The morphology and internal structure of the Horaine Bank (Bay of Saint-Brieuc, NW France) are described based on multibeam echosounder and high-resolution seismic datasets coupled with vibro-core data. The Horaine Bank shows large-scale bedforms in the lee of a submerged rocky shoal, which allowed defining it as a Banner Bank. The internal structure of the sandbank reveals four seismic units (U1–U4) on a Cambrian basement (U0). The basal unit U1 is interpreted as reworked lowstand fluvial sediments those infilled micro incised valleys during a rise in sea level. This unit is overlain by paleo-coastal barrier sand-spit (U2) whose development was controlled by swell in the context of a rapid rise in sea level. The successive prograding unit (U3) is... |

| The morphology, sedimentary facies, stratigraphy and development history of re-entrants and sand barriers in Togo and Benin (West Africa) have been analysed from boreholes and field data, and available radiocarbon dates. Re-entrant deposits range from basal Late Pleistocene fluviatile sands into Holocene estuarine and fluvio-deltaic sands. As sea level stabilized between 6000 and 5500 B.P., the "compartmented" coast associated with these reentrants favoured a polycellular longshore drift system. As the latter became infilled throughout the bight of Benin between 6000 and 4000 B.P., the littoral drift system evolved into a unicellular system fed by the Volta delta in Ghana, which has been the major sand source for an almost 300 kin long outer harrier.

| The Belgian Continental Shelf (BCS) is characterized by a set of isolated subtidal sandbank systems, which greatly increase the habitat heterogeneity of the area. The meiobenthos of these sandbanks was investigated during 1997 and 1998. In total, 10 sandbanks have been sampled, belonging to three different geographically isolated systems: the Flemish Banks, the Hinder Banks and the Zeeland Banks. No obvious differences in sedimentological characteristics between the sandbanks were found, but biologically some differences could be detected. The more offshore Hinder Banks had the most diverse meiobenthos, while the Flemish Banks harboured the lowest number of meiobenthic taxa. Seasonal and regional differences in terms of densities are a result of a coupling... |
