Objective

Even the most preliminary interpretation of seismic profiles obtained during the METYSS 3 cruise already makes it possible to: 1) Show that Messinian series, particularly UU (Upper Unit), CU (Chaotic Unit) and MU (Mobile Unit), display seismic facies which are quite comparable to those from series identified on other site of the integrated study on the scale of the entire Mediterranean basin. Their physiographic distribution over the Messinian Salinity Crisis should given more detailed study in this key-sector, at an intermediate position between the moderately deep East Corsican basin and the deep Tyrrhenian basin strictly speaking. These series, some of them locally syn-rift in the study zone, will better constrain the rifting time-line. 2) Specify the arrangement and shape of structures related to rifting of the East Sardinia margin, a particularly segmented sector, and especially the tilted blocks bounding numerous mini-basins. 3) Highlight post-rift tectonics along the East Sardinia margin (state of constraints to be determined). 4) Determine more accurately the distribution of the salt layer (MU) present in the study zone, both in the mini-basins along the East Sardinia margin and the deeper Tyrrhenian basin, to the south and east. And 5) highlight particularly robust salt tectonics which have not been described to date. 6) Identify the large number of channel-levee systems in the Plio-quaternary cover as well as slope instabilities, some of which are clearly associated with movements along active faults. The cruise was related to the ACTIONS MARGES + ACTION COORDONNEE INSU project.
