The EuroSTRATAFORM Po and Apennine Sediment Transport and Accumulation (PASTA) was a large international experiment conducted in the Adriatic Sea to study processes that transport sediment and form geological strata. These processes also transport nutrients and pollutants, cause shoaling in harbors and coastal waterways, cause coastal erosion, and affect engineering, archeological, and naval activities on and near the seabed. The Adriatic Sea was selected as the study area because it has a well-defined and unusually shaped deposit of modern sediments.
