Hybrid turbidite-contourite sediments transport system in the Eastern Mediterranean upper continental slope

Abstract: <p>Nile derived siliciclastic sediments are the main source for sedimentation along the Levant continental margins. The sediments are transported along the southeastern Mediterranean coast via jet and longshore currents, mainly operating along the shelf. However, the cross shelf component of sediments transport, responsible for conveying sediments towards the upper slope, is less known. To better understand the cross-shelf vs. the longshore components of sediment transport, we studied two ~5.5 m … Show more
