Two sorted bedforms fields located at the western Sardinian margin are described. Bedforms are developed at the edge of prograding sedimentary wedges related to the last sea-level rise and in a small basin of the inner shelf, surrounded by rocky outcrops. The mechanisms of formation and evolution are discussed in relation with sea-level oscillations, hydrodynamic forcing and complex seabed morphology.

Abstract
Two sorted bedforms fields located at the western Sardinian margin are described. Bedforms are developed at the edge of prograding sedimentary wedges related to the last sea-level rise and in a small basin of the inner shelf, surrounded by rocky outcrops. The mechanisms of formation and evolution are discussed in relation with sea-level oscillations, hydrodynamic forcing and complex seabed morphology.File in questo prodotto:
