Submerged notches that indicate negative sea
level change evidence during The Quaternary.
Through their study, the effects of sea level
change and effect of tectonic lifting movements
on them during the Quaternary are identified.
Submerged notches as negative evidence below
MSL are studied in the field work in two areas:
The first one is "San Foca" area that comprises
three parts from north to south:" Torre di Roca
Vecchia bay" and "Madonna di Roca Vecchia
bay", the second area is "Castro", only "Porto
Castro" is studied below the current sea level.
The studied area located in the Ionian Sea coast,
South Italy, its total length is about 53 km. The
studied area is the south-east part of the Apulia
region (southern Italy), stretching between the
Ionian Sea and Adriatic Sea. It is located on the
east coast of the Salento peninsula. Its coordinates
are 40? 0´ 2.43? to 40? 18´ 6.85? N, and 18? 16´
10.10? to 18? 31´ 30.99? E
The aims of this paper to define the effects of
the Quaternary Sea level change on submerged
notches, and study the evolution of coastal karst
in current climate conditions. The methodology
of this study depended upon extensive field
and measurements of submerged notches, an in
addition to GPS.
