| Abstract | Cruise M73/1 with R/V Meteor studied the western Ligurian Margin off Southern France. This area in the northeastern part of the western Mediterranean Sea represents a tectonically active margin with a lot of microseismicity and mass wasting. Landslide processes, turbidites, and other consequences of slope instability were the aim of this RCOM expedition into the area of Var Canyon and turbiditic system and the Baie des Anges, both located south of Nice at the French Riviera. The entire area was mapped using the high resolution SIMRAD EM710 system, which reveals small-scale steps and scars in the landslide scar. ROV surveys along these small scars show steep walls and talus immediate down-slope of them, both being indicative of very recent seafloor sediment deformation. |
