Description :
The aim of this study is to provide a better understanding of the morpho-sedimentary response of fluvial systems in subsiding areas non-controlled by tectonically active linear structures. In the Ebro Basin, the mechanisms and processes involved in karstic subsidence were studied through the analysis of present-day closed depressions as well as through old subsidence depressions (palaeocollapses and solution-induced basins) and associated deformations recorded in the Quaternary alluvial sediments.
