Abstract
This article presents data from high-resolution shallow seismic profiles, side scan sonar, scanning sonar, surficial sediment data and
video data for the sedimentary history, characterization and process-description of the Izmir Bay (western Turkey).Rate in sea
level rise, seabed morphology, sediment supply, hydrodynamic regime are the main controlling factors of general infill pattern.
Inspection by diver video of pockmark like seabed features are showed that some of these features are partly related with the
scouring at wreck sites and controlled by the orientation of the wreck structure relative to the prevailing hydrodynamic conditions.
