Patterns of deep-water coral diversity in the Caribbean Basin and adjacent southern waters: an approach based on records from the R/V Pillsbury expeditions. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2014
The diversity of deep-water corals in the Caribbean Sea was studied using records from oceanographic expeditions performed by the R/V Pillsbury. Sampled stations were sorted according to broad depth ranges and ecoregions and were analyzed in terms of ...

The Pan-Arctic Continental Slope: Sharp Gradients of Physical Processes Affect Pelagic and Benthic Ecosystems

open access: yesFrontiers in Marine Science, 2020
Continental slopes – steep regions between the shelf break and abyssal ocean – play key roles in the climatology and ecology of the Arctic Ocean.

Long‐Term SST Variability on the Northwest Atlantic Continental Shelf and Slope

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, 2020
The meridional coherence, connectivity, and regional inhomogeneity in long‐term sea surface temperature (SST) variability over the Northwest Atlantic continental shelf and slope from 1982–2018 are investigated using observational data sets.

Influence of Remote Internal Tides on the Locally Generated Internal Tides upon the Continental Slope in the South China Sea

open access: yesJournal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2021
In this paper, the M2 internal tides (ITs) originating from the continental slope in the South China Sea are studied using the CROCO model. The simulation results show that there are two origins of ITs on the continental slope: at 118°–119.5° E along 22°

Geo-hazards of the San Vito peninsula offshore (southwestern Tyrrhenian Sea)

open access: yesJournal of Maps, 2021
In this paper we present geomorphological hazard mapping of the San Vito Peninsula offshore (Sicilian margin of Tyrrhenian Sea), characterised by a very narrow continental shelf and a very dipping, tectonically active continental slope, no far from a ...

Quantitative Seismic Geomorphology of Four Different Types of the Continental Slope Channel Complexes in the Canterbury Basin, New Zealand

open access: yesApplied Sciences, 2022
Modern marine seismic reflection data have allowed for the study of the morphology of submarine channels in a 3D perspective. This study presents a quantitative analysis of continental slope channel complexes morphology within the Canterbury Basin (New ...

Distribution of dissolved methane in seawater from the East China Sea to the Ryukyu forearc

open access: yesFrontiers in Earth Science, 2023
Methane is a greenhouse gas, and the East China Sea acts as a source of emissions to the atmosphere. On the other hand, the distribution of methane concentration in the Ryukyu Arc shelf and forearc region has not been clarified.

Multidecadal warming of Antarctic waters [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Decadal trends in the properties of seawater adjacent to Antarctica are poorly known, and the mechanisms responsible for such changes are uncertain. Antarctic ice sheet mass loss is largely driven by ice shelf basal melt, which is influenced by ocean-ice

OESbathy version 1.0: a method for reconstructing ocean bathymetry with generalized continental shelf-slope-rise structures [PDF]

open access: yesGeoscientific Model Development, 2015
We present a method for reconstructing global ocean bathymetry that combines a standard plate cooling model for the oceanic lithosphere based on the age of the oceanic crust, global oceanic sediment thicknesses, plus generalized shelf-slope-rise ...

Assemblages of certain benthic molluscs along the southwestern Atlantic: from subtidal to deep sea

open access: yesBMC Ecology, 2019
Background We analyse the distribution of Gastropods and Chitons from shallow to deep waters along the southwestern Atlantic Ocean off Argentina and discuss possible factors determining the observed biogeographic patterns.
