Climatic and environmental variations during 130 ka : investigations from sedimentary record on the Rhône deltaic margin (Gulf of Lions, NW Mediterranean)
The Rhône deltaic margin (NW Mediterranean) was under the influence of a very high sedimentation flux during the last climatic cycle, because of the vicinity of major fluvial systems that fed the outer shelf during the glacial period and the inner shelf during the deglacial period. The two areas provide a complete sedimentary record of depositional events from 130 cal. kyr BP to present. This sequence represents the sedimentary expression of the glacial/interglacial cycle (100 kyr cyclicity) within the Late Quaternary succession [1]. [Extract]
