Abstract
A detailed marine survey, in Antikyra bay, in the northern margin of the Corinth Gulf graben in Greece, was carried out to examine the distribution and dispersion of bauxite “red-mud” tailings which have been discharged since 1970 on the shelf at a depth of 100 m. The ‘red-mud’ tailings are transported to the basin floor by turbidity currents is a depth of about 800 m and at a distance of up to 17 km from the source. Over a period of 14 years, ten (10) turbidity flow events have occurred. The turbidity flows form small scattered sheet-like deposits. The deposits are usually lobe shaped, between 0.6 and 4 cm thick, and with an aerial coverage from 1-106 to 12.6106 m2. The turbidites overlap each other and cover a total area of 48 km2.
