Delta growth and river valleys: the influence of climate and sea level changes on the South Adriatic shelf (Mediterranean Sea)

Evolution of an incised valley system in the southern Adriatic Sea (Apulian margin): an onshore–offshore correlation

“…This conclusion is also supported by the position of the MIV subaqueous delta, recognized between ca . 75 and 100 m of water depth (Maselli and Trincardi, ; Maselli et al ., ); this position is compatible with the sea‐level reached during the Bølling‐Allerød Interstadial (between ca . −70 and −95 m) according to Lambeck and Bard (), Peltier and Fairbanks () and Lambeck et al .…”

“…(, b), Maselli and Trincardi () and Maselli et al . () recognized an extensive unconformity representing the lowstand surface of subaerial exposure (LSSE) formed during the last glacial cycle. On the LSSE, they recognized the Manfredonia Incised Valley (MIV).…”

Sedimentary evolution and persistence of open forests between the south-eastern Alpine fringe and the Northern Dinarides during the Last Glacial Maximum

“…1. Location of the study area (black frame) in the Adriatic area at the time of the LGM acme; the Adriatic Plain, coastline and the river pattern are drawn after Maselli et al (2011Maselli et al ( , 2014 and the glacier extent after Ehlers and Gibbard (2004). 1: Oglio end-moraine system; 2: Garda end-moraine system; 3: Tagliamento end-moraine system; 4: Snežnik ice cap.…”

A late Quaternary multiple paleovalley system from the Adriatic coastal plain (Biferno River, Southern Italy)

“…Post-LGM incised-valley systems have been described uniquely from the Alpine sector (Tagliamento, Piave and Brenta incised valleys; Fontana et al, 2008Fontana et al, , 2013. Recently, a huge erosional feature (Manfredonia incised-valley system) was recognized in the Adriatic offshore, below the Apulian shelf, 70 km south of the study area (De Santis and Caldara, 2014;Maselli and Trincardi, 2013;Maselli et al, 2014).…”
