Geomorphology, 2019 Contourites are common morphological features along continental margins where currents encounter the seafloor. They can provide long-term archives of palaeoceanography, may be prone to sediment instability, and can have a great potential for hydrocarbon ...

Distribution of the sedimentary cover in the Equatorial segment of the Atlantic Ocean
Вестник Камчатской региональной ассоциации "Учебно-научный центр". Серия: Науки о Земле, 2021 The thickness of the Atlantic Equatorial segment sedimentary cover decreases with the distance from the continental source of mass removal and increases slightly with the distance from the Mid-Atlantic Ridge (MAR).

Unveiling the contourite depositional system in the Vema Fracture Zone (Central Atlantic)
Scientific Reports, 2023 A combination of a high sediment input and intense bottom currents often leads to the formation of contourites (sediments deposited or significantly reworked by bottom currents). Both of these components are present in the Vema Fracture Zone valley which

Developing bottom drifters to better understand the stranding locations of cold-stunned sea turtles in Cape Cod Bay, Massachusetts [PDF]
PeerJ, 2023 Every fall, juvenile sea turtles in the Northwest Atlantic Ocean are threatened by rapidly declining water temperatures. When sea turtles become hypothermic, or cold-stunned, they lose mobility—either at the surface, subsurface, or the bottom of the ...

A Numerical Study of Long-Return Period Near-Bottom Ocean Currents in Lower Cook Inlet, Alaska
Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2022 Lower Cook Inlet (LCI) is an important waterway with very large tides and high marine productivity. Oceanographic forcing in LCI is complex due to a combination of tides, seasonal winds, and large freshwater discharges, as well as inflow from the Alaska ...
