 Zusammenfassung: 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 junction of two major basement faults that are not clearly visible in the seismic reflections. We regard the overdeepening in this longitudinal valley as the result of glacier confluence during the LGM. Subglacial meltwaters utilized the higher erodibility of faulted rocks, as indicated by channel structures. The adverse slope (2.6%) along the valley axis exceeds the gradient ice-surface slope (0.4–0.5%) during the LGM by more than fivefold. We thus suggest this feature is a product of a pre-LGM phase, since adverse slopes greater than ~ 1.2 times the ice surface slope promote the freezing of water in subglacial channels and prevent efficient water flushing of sediments. Integrating other studies allows us to estimate the local overdeepening of the Lienz Basin and that of the whole Upper Drau Valley to be 146 m and 530 m, respectively. At the beginning of lacustrine sedimentation, we estimate the paleo-water depth to be at least 216 m.
