Stad Slide: Preconditioning and failure of one of the world's largest megaslides
ABSTRACT Submarine landslides can generate tsunamis and pose risks to underwater infrastructure, but a lack of direct observations of such slides hinders our understanding of their development and hazard potential. Studying the morphology of past slides can offer insights into their preconditioning and failure.

Studying the past of Mediterranean outflow based on 230th excess inventories and contourites [PDF]
The Mediterranean Outflow water (MOW) comes out from the Mediterranean Sea and then contours the northern slope of the Cadiz Gulf. Along its way to the southern Portuguese Margin, it divides itself into three levels flowing at different depths, 400 m ...

Abstract Continental breakup involves multiple extension styles; each linked to unique structural and sedimentary processes. High‐angle, low‐angle, listric and antilistric normal faults develop at different stages and positions during rifting. The Bay of Biscay and its margins, a prototypical example of magma‐poor rifted margins during Jurassic ...

Early Quaternary sedimentary processes and palaeoenvironments in the central North Sea [PDF]
A number of elongate trough-like features are observed in the early Quaternary succession of the central North Sea basin. A definitive model of formation for the features remains unclear but the troughs may aid in our understanding of the depositional ...

A Paleotectonic Atlas of the African Plate: Permian to Recent
ABSTRACT The fragmentary release of petroleum data defining the deep structure and stratigraphy of African basins has been integrated with existing literature to compile 19 tectonic maps over key geological intervals from Permian to Recent times. African plate margins range in their age of opening from Late Triassic (off Lebanon), through Early/Middle ...

Echo character mapping and depositional processes on the western Svalbard continental margin
An echo character mapping study of the western Svalbard continental margin, based on ca. 3980 km of archived sub-bottom profile data, is presented. Four distinct echo character types are recognized.

Authigenic Uranium Preservation and Bottom Water Oxygenation in the Scotia Sea
Abstract Sedimentary uranium (U) and thorium (Th) isotopes are invaluable proxies to assess bottom water redox conditions, site‐specific sediment focusing and vertical rain rates. We investigate if authigenic uranium (aU) can serve as a proxy for bottom water ventilation at International Ocean Discovery Program Site U1537 in the Scotia Sea and we ...

Depositional evolution of the upper Miocene complex. ABSTRACT To achieve net‐zero carbon emissions by 2050, gigatonnes of CO2 must be captured and stored in the subsurface. Screening and exploration of prospective storage sites have thus gained momentum in recent years.

Decreased Deep Water Oxygenation in the Western North Pacific During the Plio‐Pleistocene Transition
Abstract The deep North Pacific, a vast respired carbon reservoir, likely plays a key role in the Plio‐Pleistocene CO2 decline and global cooling, but evidence for this is lacking. Here, oxygenation change in the upper deep western North Pacific between 5.3 and 1.0 million years ago (Ma) is reconstructed using multiple organic and inorganic proxies ...
