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 ...

Stad Slide: Preconditioning and failure of one of the world's largest megaslides

Journal of Quaternary Science, Volume 40, Issue 8, Page 1392-1406, November 2025.
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.

Mode of Continental Thinning and Breakup Along the North Iberian‐Armorican Conjugate Margins in the Bay of Biscay

Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 130, Issue 10, October 2025.
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 ...

A Paleotectonic Atlas of the African Plate: Permian to Recent

Journal of Petroleum Geology, Volume 48, Issue 4, Page 231-279, October 2025.
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 ...

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.

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).

Authigenic Uranium Preservation and Bottom Water Oxygenation in the Scotia Sea

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, Volume 26, Issue 9, September 2025.
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 ...

The Agulhas Ridge, South Atlantic: the peculiar structure of a fracture zone [PDF]

, 2005
The Agulhas Ridge is a prominent topographic feature that parallels the Agulhas-Falkland Fracture Zone (AFFZ). Seismic reflection and wide angle/refraction data have led to the classification of this feature as a transverse ridge.
