Atlas of Submerged Depositional Terraces along the Italian coasts

This volume collects a number of case history of terraced submarine morphologies present on the Italian sea floor. The Atlas gives not only the compilation of the observed cases, but also a description and a mapping, as homogeneous as possible, of the main Submerged Depositional Terraces morphologic and depositional features.
