DENSE WATER IN THE ADRIATIC SEA
Explain Bedform patchyness in the Southern Adriatic Margin (SAM)
Assess the role of different forcing factors in controlling mass transport
Identify dense water and sediment pathways

HYDRODYNAMIC REGIME AND BEDFORM PATCHYNESS
Cascading-related acceleration and deceleration patterns are compatible
with erosional and depositional bedform configuration
Perturbations to geostrophic equilibrium are controlled
by variations in seabed curvature and slope
