Description

The occurrence of sedimentary layers indicating high energy events is common in the continental shelves sedimentary record. Their presence has been usually related either to tsunami waves or storm waves. In both cases, the identification of the transport mechanism requires a variety of proxies. This work presents the preliminary results of the analysis of a gravity core (MW-107) collected at ca. 57 m water depth in the inner continental shelf of Quarteira (Algarve) and aims to identify potential high energy events.
