| A unique late Glacial-Preboreal record of changes in sea-level and sediment fluxes originating from the Alps is recorded in the Rhone subaqueous delta in the Western Mediterranean Sea. The compilation of detailed bathymetric charts, together with high-resolution seismic profiles and long cores, reveals the detailed architecture of several sediment lobes, related to periods of decreased sea-level rise and/or increased sediment flux. They are situated along the retreat path of the Rhone distributaries, from the shelf edge and canyon heads up to the modem coastline. They form transgressive backstepping parasequences across the shelf, the late Holocene (highstand) deltas being confined to the inner shelf The most prominent feature is an elongated... |
