Onset of strong Iceland-Scotland overflow water 3.6 million years ago

open access: yesNature Communications
North Atlantic Deep Water (NADW), the return flow component of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC), is a major inter-hemispheric ocean water mass with strong climate effects but the evolution of its source components on million-year ...

Impact of Tectonic, Glacial and Contour Current Processes on the Late Cenozoic Sedimentary Development of the Southeast Greenland Margin

open access: yesGeosciences, 2019
To understand the geomorphological contrast between the northern and southern parts of the Southeast Greenland margin with its marked differences in sedimentary regime, bathymetric and seismic reflection, data have been compiled and analysed.

Channel Confinement Drives Unidirectional Migration: Coupling of Flow Structure and Sedimentary Evolution in Combined Turbidity–Bottom Current Flows

open access: yesJournal of Marine Science and Engineering
Along-slope bottom currents and down-slope (gravity-driven) turbidity currents coexist in the ocean and interact during their flow processes. The interaction between turbidity currents and bottom currents plays a crucial role in determining the lateral ...

Major tunnel valleys and sedimentation changes document extensive Early Pleistocene glaciations of the Barents Sea

open access: yesCommunications Earth & Environment
Sedimentary records of Early Pleistocene (~2.6–0.8 Ma) glaciations are sparse on shelves, yet trough mouth fans on adjacent continental slopes provide a continuous record of ice-sheet and climate development throughout the Quaternary.

Glacial-interglacial sedimentation control on gas seepage exemplified by Vestnesa Ridge off NW Svalbard margin

open access: yesFrontiers in Earth Science
Vestnesa Ridge is built-up of thick contourites mainly deposited during the last ∼5 million years. Methane leaks from deep gas reservoirs creating pockmarks on its crest, and which have been the focus of numerous studies.

Early Jurassic extrinsic solar system dynamics versus intrinsic Earth processes: Toarcian sedimentation and benthic life in deep-sea contourite drift facies, Cardigan Bay Basin, UK

open access: yesProgress in Earth and Planetary Science
The 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.
