(top): Overview of the study area, comprising the northern part of the Lefkada Lagoon and the Lefkada barrier beach system [map based on Aster Satellite Image 2003 (USGS, 2006), Topographic Map 1:50.000 sheets Lefkada and Vonitsa (Hellenic Military Geographical Service, HMGS, 1987), Bathymetrical charts Amvrakikos Gulf and Lefkada channel (Hellenic Navy Hydrographic Service, HNHS) and SRTM elevation data (NASA, 2006)]. (bottom): The Gyra washover fan. On top of its surface, three sediment cores were taken for stratigraphical interpretation (LEF 1, LEF 44, LEF 45). Sediment cores LEF 46, LEF 47 and LEF 50 were conducted in the Lagoon of Lefkada, vibracore LEF 18 and sediment profile LEF S1 on top of a triangle-shaped peninsula.
