Sequence stratigraphy, quaternary basin analyses in the Adriatic Foredeep

Abstract

This paper intends to give the characterization of Quaternary loose deposits, near and along the sea coast zone, by evaluating lithological-geologic parameters, depositional environments and the tectonic subsidence. The main objectives are: - The lithologic-facial zone by mapping of lithologie composition and facies distribution. - The Quaternary basin analyses by interpreting depositional sequences of third order, where system tracts (lowstand, shelf wedge, transgressive and highstand) are individualized. - The present fluvial processes and delta configuration (Shkumbin, Seman).
