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,

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

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 ...

A Numerical Study of Long-Return Period Near-Bottom Ocean Currents in Lower Cook Inlet, Alaska

open access: yesJournal 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 ...

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.

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

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.

Discovering the Fine-Scale Morphology of the Gulf of Cádiz: An Underwater Imaging Analysis

open access: yesJournal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2022
The dense and deep water flow that leaves the Mediterranean Sea to the Atlantic flows through the upper and middle slope of the Gulf of Cádiz as a powerful bottom stream that models and interacts with bathymetry.

Systematic shift in plume bending direction at Grotto Vent, Main Endeavour Field, Juan de Fuca Ridge implies changes in venting output along the Endeavour Segment

open access: yesFrontiers in Earth Science, 2022
Analysis of the time-dependent behavior of the buoyant plume rising above Grotto Vent (Main Endeavour Field, Juan de Fuca Ridge) as imaged by the Cabled Observatory Vent Imaging Sonar (COVIS) between September 2010 and October of 2015 captures long term ...
