Synopsis

This case study presents the first comprehensive, systematic and data-bank supported analysis of provenance (source rock reconstruction) from its erosional products, terrigenous sediments. Source area properties such as geology, climate and relief of 19 small basins draining a modern active plate margin in Calabria, Southern Italy, were digitized and compared quantitatively with the sedimentological characteristics of the river-mouth deposits. The study includes both short- and longterm calculations of the related mass balances.
