Stad Slide: Preconditioning and failure of one of the world's largest megaslides
ABSTRACT Submarine landslides can generate tsunamis and pose risks to underwater infrastructure, but a lack of direct observations of such slides hinders our understanding of their development and hazard potential. Studying the morphology of past slides can offer insights into their preconditioning and failure.

Contourite or turbidite?: magnetic fabric of fine-grained Quaternary sediments, Nova Scotia continental rise [PDF]
Samples of three piston cores and one gravity core from the Nova Scotia continental rise (depths 4210-4925 m) have been examined to differentiate parallel-to-slope and downslope depositional processes in Quaternary deposits from a region presently ...

Cenozoic North Atlantic deep circulation history recorded in contourite drifts, offshore Newfoundland, Canada [PDF]
In the North Atlantic Ocean, contour-following deep currents have created regional erosional unconformities and deposited contourite drifts that exceed 2 km in thickness and extend for 100 s of km. The stratigraphic records in the drifts have been used to reconstruct variations in North Atlantic deep-water circulation throughout the Cenozoic; however ...

Abstract Continental breakup involves multiple extension styles; each linked to unique structural and sedimentary processes. High‐angle, low‐angle, listric and antilistric normal faults develop at different stages and positions during rifting. The Bay of Biscay and its margins, a prototypical example of magma‐poor rifted margins during Jurassic ...

Geomorphological and sedimentary processes of the glacially influenced northwestern Iberian continental margin and abyssal plains [PDF]
The offshore region of northwestern Iberia offers an opportunity to study the impacts of along-slope processes on the morphology of a glacially influenced continental margin, which has traditionally been conceptually characterised by predominant down ...

A Paleotectonic Atlas of the African Plate: Permian to Recent
ABSTRACT The fragmentary release of petroleum data defining the deep structure and stratigraphy of African basins has been integrated with existing literature to compile 19 tectonic maps over key geological intervals from Permian to Recent times. African plate margins range in their age of opening from Late Triassic (off Lebanon), through Early/Middle ...

Contourite identification along Italian margins: The case of the Portofino drift (Ligurian Sea) [PDF]
Abstract A brief review of the published evidence of current deposits around Italy is the occasion to test the robustness of matching bottom current velocity models and seafloor morphologies to identify contourite drifts not yet documented. We present the result of the regional hydrodynamic model MARS3D in the Northern Tyrrhenian and Ligurian Sea ...

Authigenic Uranium Preservation and Bottom Water Oxygenation in the Scotia Sea
Abstract Sedimentary uranium (U) and thorium (Th) isotopes are invaluable proxies to assess bottom water redox conditions, site‐specific sediment focusing and vertical rain rates. We investigate if authigenic uranium (aU) can serve as a proxy for bottom water ventilation at International Ocean Discovery Program Site U1537 in the Scotia Sea and we ...

Depositional evolution of the upper Miocene complex. ABSTRACT To achieve net‐zero carbon emissions by 2050, gigatonnes of CO2 must be captured and stored in the subsurface. Screening and exploration of prospective storage sites have thus gained momentum in recent years.
