- Abstract
Continental shelves are depositional environments where the complicated patterns of sediment distribution play a major role for the establishment of the equilibrium for the occurring ecosystems. The Mediterranean basin, comprising the Mediterranean Sea and the 21 countries it borders (with their population being ~530 million), is often referred to as a hotspot for dynamic geology, climate change, and biodiversity. The coastal and associated shelf environments constitute the interface between the land and ocean regime.
