The SANIMED project focuses on two primary scientific objectives. The first objective is to investigate the genetic mechanisms and significance of gravity flows in deltaic and submarine canyon environments. This involves understanding dominant flow characteristics, their temporal variability, mapping erosional features, and confirming the presence of submarine groundwater discharges in the Guadalfeo River delta and submarine canyon heads. The second objective aims to assess the impact of anthropogenic activities on the continental margin and their relationship with submarine gravity flows. This includes analysing the spatial and temporal variability of marine litter, characterizing litter composition and distribution, studying the effects of river damming, and identifying the influence of bottom trawling on submarine geomorphology, sedimentation rates, and benthic ecosystems. The study area, located off the coast of the province of Granada, exhibits a lateral morpho-sedimentary gradient, ranging from a wide platform with minimal sedimentary input and gentle slope to the west, to a narrow platform heavily affected by submarine canyons to the east.
