Description

Supplementary Material to Katz, O., Almogi-Labin, A., Hyams-Kaphzan, O., 2025 (Marine Geology): Stratigraphy and chronology of recent submarine mass transport along the continental slope of the southeastern Mediterranean Sea with applications to marine geohazard. Table T1. Down-core laboratory analysis of the studied cores, including planktic foraminiferal abundance, radiocarbon ages, oxygen isotopes, total organic carbon, and particle size distribution mode for (a) Core AM113; (b) Core AM149; (c) Core AM015; and (d) Core AM137. Figure S1. Density calibration for the studied cores; CT units (HU) to MKS bulk sediment-density (kg/m3). Twenty measurements of averaged HU values were performed in 1 cm by 6 cm vertical rectangles on a longitudinal CT slice in the middle of core AM113 (average HU of an individual rectangular ranged ~600 - ~1500). They were then plotted against the gamma density values obtained for the same core depths using a Multi Scan Core Logger (Haifa University, Israel). Figure S2. Photographs of the studied cores. (a) AM113; (b) AM149; (c) AM015; (d) AM137. Depth scale is in centimeters. The major stratigraphic units and the transition from the Last Glacial Period to the Holocene are marked along each core. Also presented are the Munsell colors of the sediment at selected core depths. Figure S3. The mode of the particle size distribution along the studied cores. The S1 sequence along each core, based on the TOC values (Figs. 4, 6, 8, 10), and the debrite sections along the cores (Figs. 2, 5, 7, 9) are marked by gray and reddish hatching, respectively. Selected Isochrones, based on radiocarbon dating and stratigraphy, are marked. (a) Core AM113; (b) Core AM149; (c) Core AM015; (d) Core AM137.
