Relict geomorphological and structural control on the coastal sediment partitioning, North of Bay of Biscay

From the Glénan Island to Guérande plateau in south Brittany (France, Bay of Biscay), based on 10000 km of seismic lines, submerged rocky barriers/inherited structural elements were interpreted as the primary controls on variance of coastal topography and incision of palaeovalleys. Sediment infill...
