A1 Corbí, Hugo A1 Rey Salgado, Jorge A1 Pina, José Antonio A1 Yébenes, Alfonso AB High resolution seismic profiles of the Alicante continental shelf have been studied identifying a seismicprism which top at about -20 m below today sea-level. The prism is covered by recent sediments and canbe interpreted as formed during a short interval of stand-by in the general transgression after the lastglacial maximum. The -20 m level have been compared with the holocene Mediterranean sea-level-curveto propose an age of about 8 ka BP coinciding with the «8.2 ka cooling event» that was an abrupt,widespread climate instability. The prism top is deeper in the northern seismic profiles thus indicating amore subsidence that the southern coastal shelf where an erosion surface with rocky shoals configure thesea bottom YR 2009 FD 2009 LK http://hdl.handle.net/10272/7993 UL http://hdl.handle.net/10272/7993 LA spa DS Repositorio Institucional de la Universidad de Huelva RD 31 may 2026
