The MARGRAF project investigates submarine sediment gravity flows in the Ionian Basin, focusing on the 1908 Messina turbidity current and its potential to generate tsunamis. It aims to enhance understanding of sediment transport processes and evaluate modern detection methods using submarine telecommunication cables.
Submarine sediment gravity flows are some of the most important sediment transport processes globally.
They pose a hazard to offshore infrastructure and may contribute to tsunami generation.
The behaviour of these sediment flows, however, is still not fully understood.
The Ionian Basin offshore eastern Sicily is characterised by high seismicity, tsunamis and gravity flows.
The 1908 Messina earthquake, which caused >60,000 casualties, triggered an extensive turbidity current.
The geohazard implic…
