Sedimentology, 2020 Interbedded contourites, turbidites and pelagites are commonplace in many deep‐water slope environments. However, the distinction between these different facies remains a source of controversy. This detailed study of calcareous contourites and associated

Bottom Current Modification of Turbidite Lobe Complexes
Frontiers in Earth Science, 2022 Submarine lobes form at the distal end of sediment gravity flow systems and are globally important sinks for sediment, anthropogenic pollutants and organic carbon, as well as forming hydrocarbon and CO2 reservoirs.

Special Publications, 2020 Contourite drifts are sediment deposits formed by ocean bottom currents on continental slopes worldwide. Although it has become increasingly apparent that contourites are often prone to slope failure, the physical controls on slope instability remain ...

The economic importance of contourites [PDF]
Geological Society, London, Special Publications, 2007 Abstract The importance of contour currents in shaping and building continental margins has long been accepted. Their economic implications and the stratigraphic framework in which they are developed remain largely unknown. Data retrieved from sidescan sonar images, seismic profiles and their attribute maps, as well as sea-floor coring ...

Shallow or deep? A reinterpretation of the Rifian Corridor’s unique sandy contourites
, 2021 This study proposes that sandstone layers exposed in the Fez-Meknes region of Northern Morocco (Ben Allou (Sidi Chaded) and El Adergha localities), have been misinterpreted as unique examples of geostrophically-driven, deep marine (150 400 m water depth)
