Abstract
Meteor Cruise 22 (April 1971) successfully recovered numerous samples of unconsolidated marine sediments from the SE Tyrrhenian Sea in the vicinity of the Aeolian Islands (Italy). The sedimentological investigations disclosed a highly dynamic environment in which the pelagic realm was being invaded by volcanic and terrigenous detritus, transported and deposited by gravity slumping, debris flow, and turbidity currents. This was the first detailed investigation of sediments in the region, the results augmenting the findings of the more recent studies by Kidd et al. and Lucchi and Kidd.
