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 ...

Miocene uplift of the NE Greenland margin linked to plate tectonics: Seismic evidence from the Greenland Fracture Zone, NE Atlantic:Margin Uplift and Plate Tectonics [PDF]

, 2016
Tectonic models predict that following breakup, rift margins undergo only decaying thermal subsidence during their postrift evolution. However, postbreakup stratigraphy beneath the NE Atlantic shelves shows evidence of regional-scale unconformities ...

Dynamic Controls on Salt Structures and Translation Velocity at Continental Rifted Margins

Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 131, Issue 1, January 2026.
Abstract Salt tectonics at rifted margins involves intricate interactions between weak, viscous evaporite layers and brittle sedimentary rocks. Geophysical data and geological interpretation offer valuable insights into evaporite structure formation and the average translation rate of evaporite and sediment layers on time scales of several million ...

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 ...

Deep-water bottom current dynamics: processes, products & challenges [PDF]

, 2013
Contourites are deep-water sedimentary deposits created under the influence of predominantly along-slope bottom currents. They are considered to be excellent deep-water recorders of global climatic change.

Cyclic Pockmark Formation Linked to Plio‐Pleistocene Sea‐Level Rise on the Chatham Rise, New Zealand

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, Volume 26, Issue 12, December 2025.
Abstract Pockmarks are geomorphological depressions on the seafloor in various underwater environmental settings. They are commonly linked to fluid release from subsurface reservoirs; however, the processes involved, fluid types, and relative timing of their formation often remain enigmatic.

Seismic stratigraphy and history of deep circulation and sediment drift development in Baffin Bay and the Labrador Sea [PDF]

, 1989
Drilling results and seismic-reflection records at and across Ocean Drilling Program (ODP) Sites 645 (western Baffin Bay), 646, and 647 (Labrador Sea) provide important constraints on the history of deep-water circulation and sedimentation in response to

Ichnological discrimination of hemipelagic‐dominated slope versus basin‐floor mudstones: Insights from early Viséan successions of a distally steepened ramp, northern Iran

The Depositional Record, Volume 11, Issue 5, Page 1563-1595, November 2025.
This study integrates sedimentological and ichnological data to reveal the depositional processes and environmental conditions of deep‐water muddy gravity flows in the Mobarak Formation. It highlights distinct ichnocoenoses and bioturbation patterns, offering insights into basin‐floor versus slope mudstones and their implications for hydrocarbon ...

Role of tectonic stress in seepage evolution along the gas hydrate‐charged Vestnesa Ridge, Fram Strait [PDF]

, 2015
Methane expulsion from the world ocean floor is a broadly observed phenomenon known to be episodic. Yet the processes that modulate seepage remain elusive.

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 ...
