Popis: The C5 core, collected on the Apulia continental slope in the Gulf of Taranto was, sampled with the aim of identifying very high-frequency climatic variations. Sedimentological analyses were performed. They are particle size analysis with laser, calcimetric analysis and terrigenous / biogenous content, the latter observing the sample under a microscope. Finally, the XRF was performed on the half unsampled core. The integrated and interpreted results made possible to highlight a climate variability with a centennial frequency. Absolute dating will be provided for the validation of the method.
