Clinoforms and clinoform systems: Review and dynamic classification scheme for shorelines, subaqueous deltas, shelf edges and continental margins

Earth-Science Reviews, 2018
Clinoforms are inclined and normally basinward-dipping horizons developed over a range of spatial and temporal scales in both siliciclastic and carbonatic systems.

Decadal variation in the frequency of tropical cyclones originating in the South China Sea and migrating from the western North Pacific

Frontiers in Earth Science, 2022
A decadal variation in the frequency of tropical cyclones (TCs) that reached their lifetime maximum intensity (LMI) in the South China Sea (SCS; 5°N-25°N, 107°E-121°E) from 1978 to 2020 was identified.

Residence Time and Transformation of Warm Circumpolar Deep Water on the Antarctic Continental Shelf

Geophysical Research Letters, 2021
Inflow of warm modified Circumpolar Deep Water (CDW) onto the Antarctic continental shelf and into ice shelf cavities is a key driver of Antarctic ice shelf mass loss.

Insights into Diversity and Imputed Metabolic Potential of Bacterial Communities in the Continental Shelf of Agatti Island. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2015
Marine microbes play a key role and contribute largely to the global biogeochemical cycles. This study aims to explore microbial diversity from one such ecological hotspot, the continental shelf of Agatti Island.

L’ extension du plateau continental au-delà de 200 milles : Un point de vue juridique

Paix et Sécurité Internationales, 2015
The continental margin and specially the continental shelf is in many areas of the world, rich in natural resources. Coastal states have two goals in extending the continental shelf; to maximize and protect their claims to extended continental shelf as ...

Direct observations of American eels migrating across the continental shelf to the Sargasso Sea

Nature Communications, 2015
Since inferring spawning areas from larval distributions in the Sargasso Sea a century ago, the oceanic migration of adult American eels has remained a mystery. No adult eel has ever been observed migrating in the open ocean or in the spawning area. Here,

Tropical cyclone Wind Pump induced chlorophyll-a enhancement in the South China Sea: A comparison of the open sea and continental shelf

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022
The continental shelf and open sea region have different ocean physical and environmental responses to tropical cyclones (TC). The present study firstly compared the grid-based maximum response (GMR) of sea surface chlorophyll a (Chl-a) to TCs Wind Pump ...

How and why small volcanic ocean islands collapse and move vertically up and down

Scientific Reports
Mass controls two major processes in volcanic islands: large-scale collapse and vertical movements. Therefore, large islands like Hawaii are gradually subsiding and have undergone massive landsliding.
