The 1755 Lisbon earthquake was the most destructive cataclysm recorded in western Europe since the Roman Republic, with an estimated earthquake magnitude Mw∼ 8.5 [Martins and Mendes Victor, 1990] and estimated tsunami magnitude of Mt= Mw= 8.5. The earthquake was felt as far away as Great Britain and Finland. The tsunami hit many coastal cities along southwest Iberia and North ...

This region of the Western Adriatic, including the Po delta and the late-Holocene mud wedge, was sampled with the R/V Seward Johnson II within the framework of the EuroSTRATAFORM project. As a part of the program, we were evaluating the causes of anomalous

Linear sand bodies with pronounced mounded topography are known from modern continental margins. ... more Linear sand bodies with pronounced mounded topography are known from modern continental margins. These deposits are commonly referred to as sand-ridges, although they may include sedimentary bodies formed in markedly different environments and shaped by distinct depositional and post-depositional processes. The most typical sand ridges on modern shelves formed as near-shore deposits during intervals of slow sea level rise or stillstand in the late-Quaternary transgression. However, shelf sand ridges are not present on all the margins drowned during this interval. This fact indicates that environmental factors, primarily supply regime and shelf morphology, contribute to their formation and preservation. Transgressive sand ridges were recognised on the Adriatic shelf in water depths between 90 and 110 m. These deposits lie directly above a major unconformity originated during the last sea level fall and lowstand (ES1 surface), which sharply truncates older deposits. The sand ridges appear as irregular mounds roughly elongated parallel to the physiographic contour, locally as thick as 10-15 m. Core data indicate an overall coarse-grained composition, with an important bioclastic component. The peculiar distribution of these sand ridges reflects the importance of local variations in accommodation space at the onset of the sea level rise. Sand ridges pinch out against structural highs, and the sharp truncation of ES1 at their base is interpreted to result from enhanced transgressive erosion on a surface previously shaped by subaerial exposure. This evidence indicates that more efficient transgressive erosion and reworking of pre-existing deposits are accompanied by preferential distribution of sand ridges in areas of recent uplift. The origin and distribution of the sand ridges on the Adriatic shelf thereby reflects the indirect control of longer-term tectonic growth, through morphological shaping of the margin.

This work aims at comparing the data structure of the geodatabase with the data specifications produced by INSPIRE on Geology (D2.8.II/III.4 Data Specification on Geology – Draft Guidelines, and related model).</p> <p>This poster was presented during the INSPIRE Conference 2013: http://inspire.ec.europa.eu/events/conferences/inspire_2013/</p
