Contour current imprints and contourite drifts in the Bahamian archipelago [PDF]

Sedimentology, 2019
AbstractNew data collected along the slopes of Little and Great Bahama Bank and the abyssal plain of the Bahama Escarpment provides new insights about contour current‐related erosive structures and associated deposits. The Bahamian slope shows abundant evidence of bottom current activity such as furrows, comet‐like structures, sediment waves and drifts.

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.

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.

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

Geosciences, 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.

Hybrid turbidite–contourite systems in the modern Tarakan Basin: seismic sedimentology and analogue for subsurface storage

Frontiers in Earth Science
Hybrid turbidite–contourite systems are present where gravity-driven and bottom-current processes interact. Although recent studies have advanced our understanding, deciphering the relative roles of downslope and alongslope processes in shaping the deep ...

Contourite erosional and depositional features of the Maastrichtian chalk on Jasmund peninsula (Rügen island, NE Germany)

Sedimentology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Seismic‐scale features such as deeply incised submarine valleys and mounded drifts together with ichnological features indicative of discontinuous sedimentation and erosional episodes have recently been documented from the Upper Cretaceous chalk in the southern Baltic Sea area.

Sediment transport and depositional hydrodynamics on the eastern Korean continental margin revealed by surface sediment granulometry

Sedimentology, Volume 73, Issue 5, Page 1469-1487, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Terrigenous sediments are transported from coastal areas and shelves to deeper continental margins by multiple processes. Understanding these processes is critical for evaluating the ecological impacts of fine‐grained sediment deposition and predicting future changes in sediment dispersal under rapid climate change.

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.
