Abstract
This study is based on surveys carried out to realize the Sheet N° 42 - Metaponto of the MAGIC project and pertain tothe analysis of the morpho-dynamic processes acting on the seafloor by means of multibeam data and seismostratigraphycinterpretation of Chirp and Sparker 1 kJ profiles. The active recognized sedimentary processes haveallowed to define morphological units and to distinguish three sectors with different erosional and depositional forms.
Questo studio si basa su indagini svolte per realizzare il foglio n° 42 - Metaponto del progetto MAGIC e riguardal'analisi dei processi morfo-dinamici che agiscono sul fondale marino utilizzando dati multibeam e l’interpretazionesismo-stratigrafica di profili Chirp e Sparker 1 kJ. I processi attivi sedimentari riconosciuti hanno permesso di definire leunità morfologiche e di distinguere tre settori con differenti forme di erosione e deposizione.
