Geomorphological and sedimentary processes of the glacially influenced northwestern Iberian continental margin and abyssal plains [PDF]
The offshore region of northwestern Iberia offers an opportunity to study the impacts of along-slope processes on the morphology of a glacially influenced continental margin, which has traditionally been conceptually characterised by predominant down ...

Unusual Components Within a Fine-Grained Contourite Deposit: Significance for Interpretation of Provenance and the Contourite Budget [PDF]
Deep-water contourite muds are an important component of many continental margin systems and are currently the focus of much interest amongst deep-water researchers. One outstanding gap in our knowledge of these systems is to understand and quantify a contourite budget, both at the small (facies) scale and at the larger drift scale.

Abstract Dense shelf water (DSW) formed on Antarctica's continental shelves is a significant precursor for Antarctic Bottom Water (AABW), a critical component of global overturning circulation. We hypothesize that DSW cascades off the central Ross Sea shelf generated density currents that entrained sediment as they flowed down Hillary Canyon, resulting

Seafloor depressions (SD) are features commonly observed on the ocean floor. They often occur as circular, small-sized (up to 10 s of m) incisions caused by fluid expulsion.

Contourite channels – Facies model and channel evolution
Despite the rise in published evidence of deep‐marine bottom current processes and associated deposits there are still very few documented outcrop examples.

Abstract Bulk (whole sample) magnetic properties of three‐hundred‐sixty‐two samples from five North Atlantic Ocean sediment cores are compared to the magnetic properties of five grain‐size fractions separated from the same samples. The relative abundance and magnetic properties of the size fractions are highly variable both within a core and among ...

Bolboforma from Leg 105, Labrador Sea and Baffin Bay, and the chronostratigraphy of Bolboforma in the North Atlantic [PDF]
The genus Bolboforma, first described by Daniels and Spiegler (1974), is a problematic group of calcareous microfossils. Solbaforma is most probably a planktonic cyst (Rogl and Hochuli, 1976) having protozoan or algal affinities (Poag and Karowe, 1986 ...

Dynamic Controls on Salt Structures and Translation Velocity at Continental Rifted Margins
Abstract Salt tectonics at rifted margins involves intricate interactions between weak, viscous evaporite layers and brittle sedimentary rocks. Geophysical data and geological interpretation offer valuable insights into evaporite structure formation and the average translation rate of evaporite and sediment layers on time scales of several million ...
