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.

Paleoceanography and Paleoclimatology, Volume 40, Issue 5, May 2025.Abstract The North Atlantic Deep Water (NADW) is a key component of modern climate systems, redistributing heat from equatorial to polar regions and contributing to the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation. However, the timing of its emergence and the mechanisms driving its formation remain uncertain.

New Kinematic Model of the Early Opening of the Equatorial Atlantic Realm
Tectonics, Volume 44, Issue 5, May 2025.Abstract The opening of the Equatorial Atlantic Ocean constitutes the final stage of Gondwana's breakup, leading to the separation of the African and South American continents. The early spreading has been debated due to the absence of magnetic anomalies related to the Early Cretaceous opening at low latitude, and an incomplete fracture zone record ...

Studying Past Deep-ocean Circulation and the Paleoclimate Record in the Gulf of Cadiz [PDF]
, 2002 Deep marine currents are strongly influenced by climatic changes. They also deposit, rework, and sort sediment, and can generate kilometer-scale sedimentary bodies (drifts).

Detection and correction of inclination shallowing in deep sea sediments using the anisotropy of anhysteretic remanence [PDF]
, 1993 Paleomagnetic data from recent Pleistocene to recent deep sea sediments from the continental rise of eastern North America exhibit a cyclical inclination shallowing, up to 30° with respect to the geocentric axial dipole value. This shallowing is strongly

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).
