Marine Sediment Record of Eruption‐Fed Vertical Density Currents, Kermadec Arc (Rangitāhua)
Abstract Products of explosive volcanism can be transported into the oceans, where they form marine tephra layers. The processes responsible for their deposition are often complex, involving multiple transport mechanisms. During the RV Investigator voyage IN2022‐V02 (2022), a 35‐cm‐thick marine tephra unit was piston‐cored at 2,460 m water depth in the

Abstract Marine Isotope Stage (MIS) 11 (424–374 ka) has long been an analog for Holocene climate because it is the most recent interglacial period with similar orbital conditions. However, there is global and regional variability in the climate response to MIS 11 warmth.

Abstract The seismic behavior of subduction megathrusts varies spatially and is influenced by the properties of subducting plates, including their sedimentary cover. Characterizing these subduction inputs is essential for understanding the mechanisms behind fault slip variability.

Abstract The Laurasian Seaway comprises a N‐S oriented trans‐Pangaean corridor linking Tethys to the Boreal Sea during the Jurassic, and direction of water flow has been the subject of considerable debate. The Llanbedr (Mochras Farm) borehole, Cardigan Bay Basin, Wales, is a uniquely informative record that comprises an expanded deep‐marine silty ...

Abstract The seafloor morphology and subsurface geometry of a late Neogene contourite drift located along the Peru margin is documented for the first time using multibeam bathymetry, two‐dimensional and three‐dimensional seismic data. Along the margin several submarine canyons incise the shelf and slope.

Off the Northwestern Iberian Peninsula, the vigorous bottom-current regime interacts with a complex seafloor topography inside the Galicia Interior Basin (GIB), which was tectonically shaped during the opening of the North Atlantic Ocean basin in ...

We analyse the geological processes of a coastal embayment in the Kattegat. Using high‐resolution seismic data and sediment cores, we describe a geological evolution from glacial to shallow marine stages with a variety of preserved facies from different depositional settings, including glacio‐lacustrine, telmatic, limnic and coastal environments.

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.

Over geological timescales, internal waves play a significant role in shaping the seafloor morphology. They generate nepheloid layers, slope‐parallel channels and escarpments with erosional surfaces. Abstract The long‐term impact of internal waves on sedimentation and seafloor geomorphology remains poorly constrained.

The continental margin of SE New Zealand is strongly influenced by the Southland Current and associated water masses. This new seismic stratigraphic study of the margin has revealed a range of depositional mounds and erosional channels that document the close interaction of turbidity and bottom currents in shaping the margin from the Mid‐Eocene onward.
