Submarine mass wasting and associated tsunami risk offshore western Thailand, Andaman Sea, Indian Ocean [PDF]

, 2012
2-D seismic data from the top and the western slope of Mergui Ridge in water depths between 300 and 2200 m off the Thai west coast have been investigated in order to identify mass transport deposits (MTDs) and evaluate the tsunamigenic potential of ...

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.

Reply to Shanmugam, G. “Review of research in internal-wave and internal-tide deposits of China: Discussion”

Journal of Palaeogeography, 2014
We are glad to know that our paper “Review of research in internal-wave and internal-tide deposits of China” (Gao et al., 2013) published in Journal of Palaeogeography has attracted close attention of international peers, and we noted that Shanmugam has ...

Contourite or turbidite?: magnetic fabric of fine-grained Quaternary sediments, Nova Scotia continental rise [PDF]

, 1984
Samples of three piston cores and one gravity core from the Nova Scotia continental rise (depths 4210-4925 m) have been examined to differentiate parallel-to-slope and downslope depositional processes in Quaternary deposits from a region presently ...

Evaluating the possible role of bottom currents and internal waves in shaping seafloor morphology in a mesophotic reef

Sedimentology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Mesophotic reefs are located in low light conditions which, depending on the region, are usually found in water depths greater than ~30 m. They are less affected by ocean warming than reefs found in shallower water depths and thus might become increasingly important for the sustainability of marine biodiversity.

Contourites and associated sediments controlled by deep-water circulation processes:State-of-the-art and future considerations [PDF]

, 2014
The contourite paradigm was conceived a few decades ago, yet there remains a need to establish a sound connection between contourite deposits, basin evolution and oceanographic processes.

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.

Plio‐Pleistocene Antarctic Bottom Water Production in the Ross Sea Reconstructed From Hillary Canyon Levee Turbidites

Paleoceanography and Paleoclimatology, Volume 41, Issue 2, February 2026.
Abstract Dense shelf water (DSW) formed on Antarctica's continental shelves is a significant precursor for Antarctic Bottom Water (AABW), a critical component of global overturning circulation. We hypothesize that DSW cascades off the central Ross Sea shelf generated density currents that entrained sediment as they flowed down Hillary Canyon, resulting

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).

Beyond the Bulk: Magnetic Property Variations With Sediment Grain Size. Insights Into Process and Provenance

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, Volume 27, Issue 1, January 2026.
Abstract Bulk (whole sample) magnetic properties of three‐hundred‐sixty‐two samples from five North Atlantic Ocean sediment cores are compared to the magnetic properties of five grain‐size fractions separated from the same samples. The relative abundance and magnetic properties of the size fractions are highly variable both within a core and among ...
