Mass-balanced stratigraphy: Data-model comparison within a closed sedimentary system (Adriatic Sea, Italy)

Reconstruction of sediment supply from mass accumulation rates in the Northern Adriatic Basin (Italy) over the past 19,000 years

Reconstruction of sediment supply is hampered by the incompleteness of the stratigraphic record. This problem may be partly circumvented by studying mass accumulation rates in closed systems, i.e., basins in which no sediment has bypassed the site of deposition over the time interval of interest. We present time-averaged basin-wide mass...
