Sediment Dispersal in the Gulf of Lions: Water Column Dynamics and Potential for Cross-Margin Transport

Abstract

The most general long-term goals of this study, as part of EuroSTRATAFORM, are to investigate the oceanic processes that erode, transport, and deposit sediment in the margin system, and how fine sediment erosion, transport and accumulation impact water-column turbidity and seabed strata where modern fluvial sediment is transferred across a continental shelf.
