First Evidence of Contourite Drifts in the North-Western Sicilian Active Continental Margin (Southern Tyrrhenian Sea)

open access: yesJournal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2021
We present the results of an integrated geomorphological and seismo-stratigraphic study based on high resolution marine data acquired in the north-western Sicilian continental margin. We document for the first time five contourite drifts (marked as EM1a,

Impact of Boundary Conditions on Entrainment and Transport in Gravity Currents [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
Gravity currents have been studied numerically and experimentally both in the laboratory and in the ocean. The question of appropriate boundary conditions is still challenging for most complex flows.

Contourites: Physical oceanography, process sedimentology, and petroleum geology

open access: yesPetroleum Exploration and Development, 2017
The purpose of this critical review is to address fundamental principles associated with contourites and other bottom-current deposits. The four basic types of deep-marine bottom currents are: (1) thermohaline-induced geostrophic contour currents, (2 ...

Contourite and Turbidite Features in the Middle Caspian Sea and Their Connection to Geohazards Derived from High-Resolution Seismic Data

open access: yesJournal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2022
High fluvial input combined with specific topographic and oceanographic settings in the Caspian Sea create favorable conditions for contourite deposition. For the first time in its middle portion, contourite deposits have been observed in high-resolution

An assessment of bottom current controlled sedimentation in Pacific Ocean abyssal environments [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
The effect of the circulation of polar-sourced dense waters on the deep seafloor is still largely unknown. This paper presents multibeam bathymetric evidence for the existence of present-day contourite drifts on the central Pacific ocean at depths ...

The Bottom Current Sediments (Contourites) in the Upper Cretaceus Deep-Water Deposits in the Northeeastern Part of Žumberak (Croatia)

open access: yesGeologia Croatica, 2010
The Upper Cretaceous deep marine deposits in NE parts of Žumberakcontain sediments deposited by bottom currents - muddy, sandy andsandy-gravelly contourites. The complete (negative-positive) sequencesand incomplete (negative-positive) sequences have been

The effect of deep ocean currents on ocean- bottom seismometers records [PDF]

open access: yesNatural Hazards and Earth System Sciences, 2023
Ocean-bottom seismometers (OBSs) are usually deployed for seismological investigations, but these objectives are impaired by noise resulting from the ocean environment.

Changing Degree Model of Pb Content Transported by Ocean Currents [PDF]

open access: yesE3S Web of Conferences, 2021
Based on the survey data of the waters of Jiaozhou Bay in May, August and October 1992, the change of Pb content and its deposition process in the surface and bottom waters of Jiaozhou Bay were studied.
