| Abstract |
The submerged Apulian Swell constitutes a wide, dissymmetric NW-SE trending topographic height extending from Apulia to Kephalinia in the northern Ionian Sea. It separates the relatively shallow southern Adriatic basin from the deeper Ionian Sea. A systematic survey (including dredging and seismic profiling) has been made by IGM Bologna across the whole area to study its sedimentary cover and shallow structure and to determine its general recent evolution. The different maps of the swell show two margins. Towards the NE (Adriatic margin) the Apulian slope is gentle, wide and sedimented. Toward the SW (Ionian margin) the slope comprises a series of steep scarps facing the deep Ionian basin and the Taranto Valley. |
