We reveal the subsurface bedrock topography and sedimentary succession of one of the deepest glacially-formed basins in the Eastern Alps: the Lienz Basin in the Upper Drau Valley (Tyrol), by means of seismic reflection. A dense source-receiver spacing, supplied by autonomous receivers, and a prestack depth-migration processing scheme were essential to distinguish the various deposits in fine detail, such as slumping, fan delta deposits, and a modified monocline on the basin flank. These details support our interpretation of the seismic stratigraphy that consists of, e.g., subglacial till of last glacial maximum (LGM) age and possibly older, laminated basin fines, and gravel/coarse sand. The maximum depth of the basin is 622 m, at the juncti...
