Journal 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

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022 Contourite drifts are significant sedimentary features and provide clues for the reconstruction of paleoceanography and paleoenvironment. Although they have been increasingly identified in the world’s ocean, shallow-water contourite drifts (< 300 m ...

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2023 Ocean dynamic processes in the bottom boundary layer (BBL) are crucial for sedimentation, such as deposition and resuspension of marine sediments. In this study, we conducted in-situ tripod observations of the sediment ridge of a contourite drift in the ...

IODP Expedition 339 in the Gulf of Cadiz and off West Iberia: decoding the environmental significance of the Mediterranean outflow water and its global influence [PDF]
Scientific Drilling, 2013 IODP Expedition 339 drilled five sites in the Gulf of Cadiz and two off the west Iberian margin (November 2011 to January 2012), and recovered 5.5 km of sediment cores with an average recovery of 86.4%.

Bottom Current Modification of Turbidite Lobe Complexes
Frontiers in Earth Science, 2022 Submarine lobes form at the distal end of sediment gravity flow systems and are globally important sinks for sediment, anthropogenic pollutants and organic carbon, as well as forming hydrocarbon and CO2 reservoirs.

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

Frontiers in Earth Science, 2021 Contourite sediment accumulations at continental margins are related to strong bottom water circulation, where intense winnowing can result in neoformation of authigenic grains of glauconite at the seafloor.

Lateral migration of large sedimentary bodies in a deep-marine system offshore of Argentina
Scientific Reports, 2021 Contourite features are increasingly identified in seismic data, but the mechanisms controlling their evolution remain poorly understood. Using 2D multichannel reflection seismic and well data, this study describes large Oligocene- to middle Miocene-aged
