  abstract = {{T}he geochemical and grain size analysis were carried out on surface and down core sediments from the present-day alluvial-coastal plain of the {M}edjerda {R}iver, {G}ulf of {T}unis, {T}unisia. {T}he aim of this paper is to characterize the geochemical and grain size distribution of sediments and its relationship with the hydrodynamics extreme events occurring during the last century. {U}sing a multi proxy approach, six turbidities layers have been identified in down core sediment (i.e. {TL}-1, {TL}-2, {TL}-3, {TL}-4, {TL}-5, {TL}-6, {TL}-7 and {TL}-8) characterized by multimodal grain size distribution. {T}he terrestrial sediment which feeds the northern coastal of the {G}ulf of {T}unis is characterized by very fine-grained sediment (clay and silt). {T}he geochemical signature shows a highly concentration of {R}b, {T}i, {Z}n and {P}b. {T}he {M}edjerda {R}iver is the mainly source of silts and clay sediment. {B}esides, the mining pollution ({Z}n and {P}b) is relatively strong in the coastal area, especially during the great floods events of {M}edjerda watershed recorded in the 1953; 1957; 1969 and 1973. {E}ven during high frequency events, the sediments are devoid of any coarse fraction.},
