Evaluating the possible role of bottom currents and internal waves in shaping seafloor morphology in a mesophotic reef

Sedimentology, EarlyView.
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.

Plio‐Pleistocene Antarctic Bottom Water Production in the Ross Sea Reconstructed From Hillary Canyon Levee Turbidites

Paleoceanography and Paleoclimatology, Volume 41, Issue 2, February 2026.
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

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.

Beyond the Bulk: Magnetic Property Variations With Sediment Grain Size. Insights Into Process and Provenance

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, Volume 27, Issue 1, January 2026.
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 ...

Dynamic Controls on Salt Structures and Translation Velocity at Continental Rifted Margins

Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 131, Issue 1, January 2026.
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 ...

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.

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.

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 ...

Increasing impact of North Atlantic Ocean circulation on sedimentary processes along the passive Galicia Margin (NW Spain) over the past 40 million years

Frontiers in Earth Science
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 ...
