  abstract = {{D}uring the last decade, the interaction of deep processes in the lithosphere and mantle with surface processes (erosion, climate, sea-level, subsidence, glacio-isostatic readjustment) has been the subject of heated discussion. {T}he use of a multidisciplinary approach linking geology, geophysics, geodesy, modelling, and geotechnology has led to the awareness of coupled deep and surface processes. {D}eep earth dynamics (topography, erosion, tectonics) are strongly connected to natural hazards such as earthquakes, landslides, and tsunamis; sedimentary mass transfers have important consequences on isostatic movements and on georesources, geothermal energy repartitions. {T}he ability to read and understand the link between deep {E}arth dynamics and surface processes has therefore important societal impacts. {G}round-truthing at carefully-selected sites of investigation is imperative to better understand these connections. {D}ue to its youth (<30 {M}a) and its subsidence history, the almost land-locked {G}ulf of {L}ion {S}ardinia continental margins system provides a unique record of sedimentary deposition from the {M}iocene to present. {D}ue to its high subsidence rate, palaeoclimatic variations, tectonic events and vertical evolution are all recorded here at very high resolution. {T}he late {M}iocene isolation and desiccation of the {M}editerranean, the youngest and most catastrophic event, the {M}essinian {S}alinity {C}risis ({MSC}), induced drastic changes in marine environments: widespread deposition of evaporite (gypsum, anhydrite and halite) in the central basin, and intense subaerial erosion along its periphery. {T}hese extraordinary mass transfers from land to sea induced strong isostatic re-adjustments that are archived in the sedimentary record and represent a window to the lithospheric rheology and the deep processes. {T}he {GOLD} ({G}ulf of {L}ion {D}rilling) project, proposes to explore this unique sedimentary record as well as the nature of the deep crustal structure, providing valuable information about the mechanisms underlying vertical motions in basins and their margins.},
