Report and preliminary results of RV METEOR Cruise M78/3. Sediment transport off Uruguay and Argentina: from the shelf to the deep sea ; 19.05.2009 – 06.07.2009, Montevideo (Uruguay) – Montevideo (Uruguay) [PDF]

, 2012
The waters off Uruguay and Northern Argentina offer the possibility to study sediment transport processes from ‘source-to-sink’ in a relatively small area.

Architecture of North Atlantic contourite drifts modified by transient circulation of the Icelandic mantle plume [PDF]

, 2015
Overflow of Northern Component Water, the precursor of North Atlantic Deep Water, appears to have varied during Neogene times. It has been suggested that this variation is moderated by transient behavior of the Icelandic mantle plume, which has ...

Seismic Stratigraphy of Contourite Drift Deposits Associated With the Loop Current on the Eastern Campeche Bank, Gulf of Mexico

Paleoceanography and Paleoclimatology
The Loop Current is a key component of global circulation via the northward transport of warm, salty water, and an important influence on Gulf of Mexico hydrography.

Cyclic Pockmark Formation Linked to Plio‐Pleistocene Sea‐Level Rise on the Chatham Rise, New Zealand

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, Volume 26, Issue 12, December 2025.
Abstract Pockmarks are geomorphological depressions on the seafloor in various underwater environmental settings. They are commonly linked to fluid release from subsurface reservoirs; however, the processes involved, fluid types, and relative timing of their formation often remain enigmatic.

Paleoceanography and ice sheet variability offshore Wilkes Land, Antarctica – Part 1: Insights from late Oligocene astronomically paced contourite sedimentation [PDF]

Climate of the Past, 2018
Antarctic ice sheet and Southern Ocean paleoceanographic configurations during the late Oligocene are not well resolved. They are however important to understand the influence of high-latitude Southern Hemisphere feedbacks on global climate under CO2 ...

Contourite-drift archive links Late Devonian bioevents with periodic anoxic shelf water cascading

Geology
Analysis of a Devonian contourite depositional system in the eastern Anti-Atlas of Morocco reveals the formation of widespread erosional hiatuses and organic-rich bioclastic contourites (ORCs) coinciding with the expansion of an anoxic water mass during ...

Ichnological discrimination of hemipelagic‐dominated slope versus basin‐floor mudstones: Insights from early Viséan successions of a distally steepened ramp, northern Iran

The Depositional Record, Volume 11, Issue 5, Page 1563-1595, November 2025.
This study integrates sedimentological and ichnological data to reveal the depositional processes and environmental conditions of deep‐water muddy gravity flows in the Mobarak Formation. It highlights distinct ichnocoenoses and bioturbation patterns, offering insights into basin‐floor versus slope mudstones and their implications for hydrocarbon ...

An Early Neogene—Early Quaternary Contourite Drift System on the SW Barents Sea Continental Margin, Norwegian Arctic

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, 2020
The onset and evolution of the middle to late Cenozoic “icehouse” world was influenced by the development of the global ocean circulation linking the Norwegian–Greenland Sea‐Arctic Ocean to the Atlantic Ocean.

Stad Slide: Preconditioning and failure of one of the world's largest megaslides

Journal of Quaternary Science, Volume 40, Issue 8, Page 1392-1406, November 2025.
ABSTRACT Submarine landslides can generate tsunamis and pose risks to underwater infrastructure, but a lack of direct observations of such slides hinders our understanding of their development and hazard potential. Studying the morphology of past slides can offer insights into their preconditioning and failure.

Efficient Organic Carbon Burial by Bottom Currents in the Ocean: A Potential Role in Climate Modulation

Geophysical Research Letters
Bottom currents play a major role in deep‐sea sedimentation, but their significance in the burial of organic carbon is poorly quantified at a global scale.
