We created a first cross-border map showing the thickness of Holocene marine sediment in the Gulf of Trieste (shared by Italy and Slovenia), for which we integrated archival data of project partners OGS institute and Harpha Sea company, and the new data acquired in the frame of the project. The map represents a foundation for studying the complex interplay of sedimentary, erosional, tectonic and paleoclimatic processes which shaped the present-day extent and geometry of Holocene deposits in the Gulf. The map will also serve in planning human activities affecting the seabottom, such as infrastructural projects and utilization of mineral deposits, and in assessing their impact on the environment.
