Secondary flow in contour currents controls the formation of moat-drift contourite systems
Communications Earth & Environment, 2023 Ocean currents control seafloor morphology and the transport of sediments, organic carbon, nutrients, and pollutants in deep-water environments. A better connection between sedimentary deposits formed by bottom currents (contourites) and hydrodynamics is

Frontiers in Earth ScienceHybrid turbidite–contourite systems are present where gravity-driven and bottom-current processes interact. Although recent studies have advanced our understanding, deciphering the relative roles of downslope and alongslope processes in shaping the deep ...

Contourite characterization and its discrimination from other deep‐water deposits in the Gulf of Cadiz contourite depositional system [PDF]
Sedimentology, 2020 AbstractDespite numerous efforts to properly differentiate between contourites and other deep‐water deposits in cores and outcrops, reliable diagnostic criteria are still lacking. The co‐occurrence of downslope and along‐slope sedimentary processes makes it particularly difficult to differentiate these relatively homogeneous deposits.

Progress in Earth and Planetary ScienceThe Cardigan Bay Basin (UK) may have functioned as a deep and narrow strait, and thereby influenced Early Jurassic oceanic circulation through the northern and southern Laurasian Seaway, and between Boreal and Peri-Tethys domains.

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.

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.

Sedimentology, 2023 The interaction of sedimentary systems with oceanographic processes in deep‐water environments is not well understood yet, despite its importance for palaeoenvironmental reconstructions, and for a full understanding of source‐to‐sink sediment transport ...
