Sediment Depositional History and Processes for the Eurasian Basin Since 54 Ma, Arctic Ocean
Abstract The Eurasian Basin in the Arctic Ocean, comprising the Amundsen and Nansen Basins separated by the Gakkel Ridge, has sediment deposits up to 4–5 km thick. However, its sedimentation history and processes remain poorly understood. Using 31 seismic profiles, we have estimated deposition rates for 54 Ma.

Geomagnetic Excursions Recorded in North Atlantic IODP Expedition 395C Sites U1555 and U1563
Abstract By studying deep‐sea drilled records from the North Atlantic Ocean, several magnetic instabilities of short duration, such as the Iceland Basin (188 ka), the Björn (1,255 ka) and the Gardar (1,460 ka) excursions, were discovered. These records have contributed to our understanding of Earth's magnetic field and are the foundation of the ...

Thousands of cold-water coral mounds along the Moroccan Atlantic continental margin : distribution and morphometry [PDF]
Coral mounds formed by framework-forming cold-water corals pierce the seabed along most continental margins of the Atlantic Ocean and new sites are continuously being discovered.

Abstract The Miocene Epoch (23.03–5.33 Ma) is receiving increased attention because estimated pCO2 and its associated warmth is comparable to projections over the next century. Well‐constrained sea‐surface temperatures in the tropics and northern latitudes express amplified warming during the Miocene Climatic Optimum (MCO; 16.9–14.7 Ma), yet data from ...

Abstract The North Atlantic Deep Water (NADW) is a key component of modern climate systems, redistributing heat from equatorial to polar regions and contributing to the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation. However, the timing of its emergence and the mechanisms driving its formation remain uncertain.

The Cardigan Bay Basin (UK) may have functioned as a deep and narrow strait, and thereby influenced Early Jurassic oceanic circulation through the northern and southern Laurasian Seaway, and between Boreal and Peri-Tethys domains.

Lithostratigraphy of the Neogene succession of the Danish North Sea
The Neogene of the Danish North Sea is more than 1200 m thick. Despite being penetrated by numerous wells, formal lithostratigraphic subdivision of this succession has previously been restricted to the lowermost part.

First Observations of Benthos and Seston from a Submersible in the Lower St. Lawrence Estuary [PDF]
Six dives with the submersible PISCES IV have permitted a unique description of the benthic and pelagic environments of a large, deep Canadian estuary. The estuarine floor and continental slopes are divided into five depth-dependent benthic zones.

New Kinematic Model of the Early Opening of the Equatorial Atlantic Realm
Abstract The opening of the Equatorial Atlantic Ocean constitutes the final stage of Gondwana's breakup, leading to the separation of the African and South American continents. The early spreading has been debated due to the absence of magnetic anomalies related to the Early Cretaceous opening at low latitude, and an incomplete fracture zone record ...
