Abstract
Depositional and erosional features similar to those observed on the seafloor are evident in the subsurface stratigraphy, revealing the onset and growth of the Mazzarrà Delta since the Last Glacial Maximum. The post-glacial sea level rise caused lateral shifts of the Mazzarrà River mouth controlling migration of depositional lobes and intensity of seafloor incision and sediment reworking, ultimately resulting in the observed wavy bedforms extending from the inner shelf to the upper slope.
