Evolution of contourite drifts in regions of slope failures at eastern Fram Strait [PDF]

arktos, 2019
Geotechnical characteristics of contouritic deposition often lead to preconditioning slope instabilities and failures along glaciated and formerly glaciated continental margins. However, internal depositional geometry is also an important factor in triggering instabilities. This work highlights the importance of the tectonic and oceanographic evolution

Large‐Scale Submarine Sediment Waves at Macauley Caldera Volcano: In Situ Evidence of High‐Flux, Syn‐Eruptive Submarine Transport

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, Volume 27, Issue 3, March 2026.
Abstract Two sediment cores were collected from a submarine sediment wave field on the flank of Macauley volcano. Combined with seismic reflection surveys and numerical modeling, we present an integrated model of the formation of large‐scale, eruption‐fed, submarine sediment waves. The sediment waves are large (>100 m high, 1.5 km wide, tens of km long)

Geochemical Analysis of Diachronous V‐Shaped Ridges and Troughs That Flank the Reykjanes Ridge South of Iceland

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, Volume 27, Issue 3, March 2026.
Abstract It is recognized that mantle plumes play a direct role in generating regional uplift and producing immense volumes of basaltic magmatism, both of which can influence paleoclimate. The Icelandic Plume, beneath the North Atlantic Ocean, is of particular importance due to its size and position at a significant paleoceanographic gateway.

A Global Evaluation of Lithology‐Dependent Marine Sediment Compaction Parameters and Their Uncertainties

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, Volume 27, Issue 3, March 2026.
Abstract Tectonic subsidence, sea level, and paleoclimate reconstructions using marine records rely on accurate decompaction of the sediment column. Over time, increased overburden pressure from burial decreases sediment porosity with depth. The porosity‐depth relationship is lithology‐dependent and can be represented by an exponential function ...

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

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 ...

Benthic Foraminifera as Proxies in Contourite Drift Systems

, 2023
Benthic foraminifera are highly adaptable to a wide range of environments, which makes them excellent tools for the reconstruction of palaeoenvironments. Certain species prefer regions with significantly increased current velocities, such as present in contourite drift systems (CDS).

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

Progress 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.

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.
