Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2021 We present the results of an integrated geomorphological and seismo-stratigraphic study based on high resolution marine data acquired in the north-western Sicilian continental margin. We document for the first time five contourite drifts (marked as EM1a,

The economic importance of contourites [PDF]
Geological Society, London, Special Publications, 2007 Abstract The importance of contour currents in shaping and building continental margins has long been accepted. Their economic implications and the stratigraphic framework in which they are developed remain largely unknown. Data retrieved from sidescan sonar images, seismic profiles and their attribute maps, as well as sea-floor coring ...

Stratigraphy and paleoceanography of a topography-controlled contourite drift in the Pen Duick area, southern Gulf of Cadiz [PDF]
, 2014 The northern part of the Gulf of Cádiz has and still is receiving a lot of attention from the scientific community due to (amongst others) the recent IODP Expedition 339.

An assessment of bottom current controlled sedimentation in Pacific Ocean abyssal environments [PDF]
, 2018 The effect of the circulation of polar-sourced dense waters on the deep seafloor is still largely unknown. This paper presents multibeam bathymetric evidence for the existence of present-day contourite drifts on the central Pacific ocean at depths ...

OCEANOGRAPHIC MOWER CRUISE [PDF]
The International Archives of the Photogrammetry, Remote Sensing and Spatial Information Sciences, 2015 The MOWER Cruise has executed a geophysics and geologic expedition in the Gulf of Cádiz (sector adjacent to the Strait of Gibraltar) and west off Portugal, in the framework of the coordinate research project MOWER “Erosive features and associated sandy ...

Seismic characteristics of sediment drifts: An example from the Agulhas Plateau, southwest Indian Ocean [PDF]
, 2001 Sediment drifts provide information on the palaeoceanographic development of a region. Additionally, they may represent hydrocarbon reservoirs. Because of this, sediment drift investigation has increased over the last few years. Nevertheless, a number of

Latin American Journal of Sedimentology and Basin Analysis, 2021 The Southwestern Atlantic margin is characterized by several canyon systems incised on a huge contourite depositional system associated with the interaction of strong Antarctic water masses with the seafloor. So far, however, only one mega slide canyon (

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, 2021 Subducted sediment plays a key role in modulating pore pressure and seismic behavior at subduction zones. We investigated the seismic character of incoming sediments to test how sediment and basement variations relate to the along‐strike changes within ...

Quantitative characterisation of contourite deposits using medical CT [PDF]
, 2019 Five sediment cores, retrieved from four different depositional contouritic morphological settings (a sheeted drift, a confined mounded drift, a mounded elongated drift and a plastered drift) from the Northern Gulf of Cadiz and the Alboran Sea have been ...

Investigations on the Peach 4 Debrite, a Late Pleistocene Mass Movement on the Northwest British Continental Margin [PDF]
, 2010 The Peach 4 debrite is the most recent in a series of large scale Pleistocene MTDs within the Barra fan on the northwest British continental margin. Geophysical data indicate that Peach 4 was formed through a combination of blocky and muddy debris flows
