Variability of the transgressive stacking pattern under environmental changes control: Example from the Post-Glacial deposits of the Gulf of Lions inner-shelf, Mediterranean, France

Compound incised-valley characterization by high-resolution seismics in a wave-dominated setting: Example of the Aude and Orb rivers, Languedoc inner shelf, Gulf of Lion, France

“…Glacial Maximum (PLGM) wave ravinement surface (WRS) and buried under the thick late transgressive and highstand deposits (Labaune 2005;Labaune et al 2005;Labaune et al 2008). In this paper, the WRS is labelled S10 in the forthcoming text and pictures.…”

Geomorphic response and 14C chronology of base-level changes induced by Late Quaternary Caspian Sea mobility (middle Kura Valley, Azerbaijan)

“…In recent periods, these rapid changes in the water level have caused substantial socio-economic damage due to their impacts on coastal zones and river mouth processes (Kazancı et al, 2004;Leroy, 2010). Over longer timescales, the role of eustatic variations shows a strong influence on alluvial fan and fluvial development (Klein, 1999(Klein, , 2001Robustelli et al, 2005;Labaune et al, 2008). During the Messinian Salinity Crisis (5.96-5.33 Ma) in the Mediterranean Basin and during glacial/interglacial cycles of the Pleistocene, fluctuations of relative sea level and river base levels (Bache et al, 2012) forced significant geomorphological responses, with incision of canyons inland (regressive phases) and aggradation during transgression episodes.…”

Phase relationship between sea level and abrupt climate change

“…This regressive parasequence set is overlain by a series of transgressive parasequences that indicate a rapid retrogradation of the deltaic system from the outer to the inner shelf, more than 40 km landward, in response to the high rates of sea level rise during deglaciation Tesson 1997, 2003;Labaune et al, 2005Labaune et al, , 2008Berne et al, 2007). During the Bolling-Allerod-Younger Dryas period, a deltaic system developed in the middle shelf (Figure 2), which was named by Berné et al (2007) as the Early Rhone Deltaic System.…”
