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 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.

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

, 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.

Distribution and Controlling Factors of the Contourites on the Northern Continental Slope of the South China Sea

Geological Journal
The northern continental margin of the South China Sea (SCS) is an important component of deep‐water circulation, providing excellent conditions for studying bottom currents in a marginal sea.

Sediment transport and depositional hydrodynamics on the eastern Korean continental margin revealed by surface sediment granulometry

Sedimentology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Terrigenous sediments are transported from coastal areas and shelves to deeper continental margins by multiple processes. Understanding these processes is critical for evaluating the ecological impacts of fine‐grained sediment deposition and predicting future changes in sediment dispersal under rapid climate change.

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.

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

Sedimentology, Volume 73, Issue 3, Page 593-619, April 2026.
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.

Submarine fans: A critical retrospective (1950–2015)

Journal of Palaeogeography, 2016
When we look back the contributions on submarine fans during the past 65 years (1950–2015), the empirical data on 21 modern submarine fans and 10 ancient deep-water systems, published by the results of the First COMFAN (Committee on FANs) Meeting (Bouma ...

Interaction of internal waves with the seafloor on the Namibian shelf (SE Atlantic Ocean): Implications for seafloor geomorphology

Earth Surface Processes and Landforms, Volume 51, Issue 3, March 2026.
Over geological timescales, internal waves play a significant role in shaping the seafloor morphology. They generate nepheloid layers, slope‐parallel channels and escarpments with erosional surfaces. Abstract The long‐term impact of internal waves on sedimentation and seafloor geomorphology remains poorly constrained.

The hyperpycnite problem

Journal of Palaeogeography, 2018
Sedimentologic, oceanographic, and hydraulic engineering publications on hyperpycnal flows claim that (1) river flows transform into turbidity currents at plunge points near the shoreline, (2) hyperpycnal flows have the power to erode the seafloor and ...
