Tectonic settings play a large role in the development of fluid flow pathways for gas migrating through sedimentary strata. Gas hydrate systems worldwide are located on either the slopes of passive continental margins, often in large contourite deposits,

Detection and correction of inclination shallowing in deep sea sediments using the anisotropy of anhysteretic remanence [PDF]
Paleomagnetic data from recent Pleistocene to recent deep sea sediments from the continental rise of eastern North America exhibit a cyclical inclination shallowing, up to 30° with respect to the geocentric axial dipole value. This shallowing is strongly

Onset of North Atlantic Deep Water production coincident with inception of the Cenozoic global cooling trend : comment [PDF]
Hohbein et al. (2012) propose an early Mid-Eocene onset of North Atlantic Deep Water (NADW) production by interpreting a mounded deposit at the south-west end of the Faroe-Shetland Basin (FSB) as a contourite drift, which they term the ‘Judd Falls Drift (

The role of Internal Solitary Waves on deep-water sedimentary processes. The case of up-slope migrating sediment waves off the Messina Strait [PDF]
Subaqueous, asymmetric sand waves are typically observed in marine channel/canyon systems, tidal environments, and continental slopes exposed to strong currents, where they are formed by current shear resulting from a dominant unidirectional flow ...

Internal features, mineralogy and geochemistry of ferromanganese nodules from the Gulf of Cadiz: the role of the Mediterranean Outflow Water undercurrent [PDF]
A large suite of Fe–Mn nodules (561 samples) were recovered during the Anastasya 2001 cruise (TASYO project) along the continental margin of the Gulf of Cadiz (Eastern Central Atlantic), at the confluence of the Mediterranean Sea with the Atlantic ...

Sedimentary records of Early Pleistocene (~2.6–0.8 Ma) glaciations are sparse on shelves, yet trough mouth fans on adjacent continental slopes provide a continuous record of ice-sheet and climate development throughout the Quaternary.
