Survey GELA_2005
The objective of the GELA_2005 oceanographic cruise was to investigate a set of very
recent slides showing markedly distinct morphology on the slope of Gela basin, Strait
of Sicily. Box-cores stations formed downslope parallel transects, both within and
outside the mass-transport complexes, in order to gather information about the
variability of sedimentological parameters (such as grain size and composition) and
the benthic ecosystems. Furthermore, a peculiar slope transect of box cores was
performed cross-cutting the Malta Escarpment (Ionian Sea), in order to analyse the
fauna variability at distinct water depths from the shelf edge to 3000 m water depth.
