Quantitative characterisation of contourite deposits using medical CT [PDF]
, 2019 Five sediment cores, retrieved from four different depositional contouritic morphological settings (a sheeted drift, a confined mounded drift, a mounded elongated drift and a plastered drift) from the Northern Gulf of Cadiz and the Alboran Sea have been ...

Unusual Components Within a Fine-Grained Contourite Deposit: Significance for Interpretation of Provenance and the Contourite Budget [PDF]
Minerals, 2020 Deep-water contourite muds are an important component of many continental margin systems and are currently the focus of much interest amongst deep-water researchers. One outstanding gap in our knowledge of these systems is to understand and quantify a contourite budget, both at the small (facies) scale and at the larger drift scale.

Contourite characterization and its discrimination from other deep‐water deposits in the Gulf of Cadiz contourite depositional system [PDF]
Sedimentology, 2020 AbstractDespite numerous efforts to properly differentiate between contourites and other deep‐water deposits in cores and outcrops, reliable diagnostic criteria are still lacking. The co‐occurrence of downslope and along‐slope sedimentary processes makes it particularly difficult to differentiate these relatively homogeneous deposits.

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).

Contourite channels – Facies model and channel evolution
Sedimentology, 2022 AbstractDespite the rise in published evidence of deep‐marine bottom current processes and associated deposits there are still very few documented outcrop examples. Herein are reported results of a contourite channel system related to the late Miocene palaeo‐Mediterranean Outflow Water in the Rifian Corridor, Morocco.

Investigations on the Peach 4 Debrite, a Late Pleistocene Mass Movement on the Northwest British Continental Margin [PDF]
, 2010 The Peach 4 debrite is the most recent in a series of large scale Pleistocene MTDs within the Barra fan on the northwest British continental margin. Geophysical data indicate that Peach 4 was formed through a combination of blocky and muddy debris flows

Geomorphological and sedimentary processes of the glacially influenced northwestern Iberian continental margin and abyssal plains [PDF]
, 2018 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 ...
