The “Corsica Channel Cold-Water Coral Province” (Mediterranean Sea)

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2020
Over 25 mounds have been identified in the Corsica Channel (Mediterranean Sea) through multibeam bathymetric mapping at depth of 400–430 m, with dimensions ranging from 70 to 330 m, achieving maximum heights of 25 m.

Reconstruction of the formation history of the Darwin Mounds, N Rockall Trough: How the dynamics of a sandy contourite affected cold-water coral growth [PDF]

, 2016
Cold-water coral mounds, formed through a feed-back process of cold-water coral growth and sediment baffling, have been studied all along the NE Atlantic continental margin.

Contourite on the Limpopo Corridor, Mozambique margin: Long‐term evolution, facies distribution and Plio‐Quaternary processes

Sedimentology, 2022
Bottom currents are key processes that contribute to the shaping of submarine slopes, with the redistribution of sediments in contourite systems. Despite numerous recent studies on contourite systems, the complexity and diversity of these sedimentary ...

Contourites: Physical oceanography, process sedimentology, and petroleum geology

Petroleum Exploration and Development, 2017
The purpose of this critical review is to address fundamental principles associated with contourites and other bottom-current deposits. The four basic types of deep-marine bottom currents are: (1) thermohaline-induced geostrophic contour currents, (2 ...

Contourite or turbidite?: magnetic fabric of fine-grained Quaternary sediments, Nova Scotia continental rise [PDF]

, 1984
Samples of three piston cores and one gravity core from the Nova Scotia continental rise (depths 4210-4925 m) have been examined to differentiate parallel-to-slope and downslope depositional processes in Quaternary deposits from a region presently ...

Sedimentation Process of Rambatan Formation in Larangan Brebes, North Serayu Range, Central Java

Indonesian Journal on Geoscience, 2019
Rambatan Formation in the western part of North Serayu Basin, Brebes, Central Java, comprises generally flysch facies of turbidite sediments deposited in a deep marine environment.

Astronomically paced changes in overturning circulation in the Western North Atlantic during the middle Eocene [PDF]

, 2018
North Atlantic Deep Water (NADW) currently redistributes heat and salt between Earth’s ocean basins, and plays a vital role in the ocean-atmosphere CO2 exchange.

Contourite depositional system after the exit of a strait: Case study from the late Miocene South Rifian Corridor, Morocco

Sedimentology, 2021
Idealized facies of bottom current deposits (contourites) have been established for fine‐grained contourite drifts in modern deep‐marine sedimentary environments.

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 ...

Evaluating the possible role of bottom currents and internal waves in shaping seafloor morphology in a mesophotic reef

Sedimentology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Mesophotic reefs are located in low light conditions which, depending on the region, are usually found in water depths greater than ~30 m. They are less affected by ocean warming than reefs found in shallower water depths and thus might become increasingly important for the sustainability of marine biodiversity.
