International audience Sediment instabilities commonly occur on carbonate slopes and constitutethe major processes involved in their geometry and presentdaymorphology. The Bahamian archipelago represents an outstandingexample of re-sedimented carbonate margin which enables to preciselybuil-up a deta...
