MARGRAF Modern and recent sediment gravity flows offshore eastern Sicily, western Ionian Basin
Coordinator: UNIVERSITA TA MALTA (MT)
Submarine sediment gravity flows are some of the most important sediment transport processes globally. They pose a hazard to offshore infrastructure and may contribute to tsunami generation. The behaviour of these sediment flows, however, is still not fully understood. The Ionian Basin offshore eastern Sicily is characterised by high seismicity, tsunamis and gravity flows. The 1908 Messina earthquake, which caused >60,000 casualties, triggered an extensive turbidity current. The geohazard implication of gravity flows is poorly constrained for this densely populated and economically important …
About Horizon 2020 (2014–2020)
Horizon 2020 was the EU's flagship research and innovation programme for 2014–2020, with a budget of around €77 billion. It bundled FP7's strands with the EIT and the Competitiveness and Innovation Programme, introduced a stronger societal-challenge orientation, and pushed the funding logic toward closer-to-market innovation. New calls closed in 2020 but funded projects continued through 2024.
The project runs over approximately 2 years from 2021-06-01 to 2023-05-31.
