The Lofoten contourite drift off Norway

Marine Geology, 1999
Abstract Based on high-resolution and multichannel seismic data, a contourite drift, the Lofoten Drift, has been identified below ca. 1000 m water depth on the continental slope off Norway. The Lofoten Drift has a maximum thickness of about 360 m. Correlation to published seismic stratigraphy implies a Neogene age.

Internal structure of a contourite drift generated by the Antarctic Circumpolar Current [PDF]

open access: yesGeochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, 2008
We describe the internal structure and stratigraphy of a well‐imaged contourite drift from the Southern Ocean. This drift, which we have named the South Falkland Slope Drift, lies on the northern flank of the Falkland Trough due south of the Falkland Islands. Drifts which occur directly in the path of the Antarctic Circumpolar Current (ACC), downstream

Seismic features diagnostic of contourite drifts

Marine Geology, 1999
Abstract The sedimentary construction of oceanic margins is most often carried out by the combined action of gravitational processes and processes related to bottom (contour) currents. One of the major difficulties encountered in the interpretation of seismic profiles crossing such margins is the differentiation of these two types of deposit ...

Quaternary contourite drifts of the Western Spitsbergen margin

Deep Sea Research Part I: Oceanographic Research Papers, 2013
The study of contourite drifts is an increasingly used tool for understanding the climate history of the oceans. In this paper we analyse two contourite drifts along the continental margin west of Spitsbergen, just south of the Fram Strait where significant water mass exchanges impact the Arctic climate.

Biogeography of benthic foraminifera in contourite drift systems

2021
<div> <p><span>Benthic foraminifera colonize a wide range of marine environments, including contourite drift systems (CDS). CDS are characterized by sustained bottom currents and cover large areas on the seafloor, e.g., in the North Atlantic.

Identification of fossil contourite drifts in the Delaware Basin, U.S.A.

Journal of Sedimentary Research, 2022
ABSTRACT Carbonate contourite drifts formed by bottom currents are common on modern sea floors but are rarely defined in the rock record. Regional subsurface well-log mapping in the northern Delaware Basin in southeast New Mexico, USA, reveals early Permian carbonate-dominated elongate, mounded accumulations along the slope of the ...
