Abstract :
[en] The Gulf of Corinth, Greece, is connected to the Ionian Sea through a 62 m deep sill. Strong tidal currents have been measured above this sill, what could potentially induce bottom-current erosion in the Gulf. Seismic reflexion data allowed us to identify this present-day expected seafloor erosion in a wide area, as well as erosional unconformities and a wide channel between 100 and 300 m below sea level. These features highlight the possible occurrence of strong bottom-currents since the last sea level rise.
