Ichnological analysis: A tool to characterize deep-marine processes and sediments [PDF]
The deep-marine environment is a complex setting in which numerous processes —settling of pelagic and hemipelagic particles in the water column, sediment gravity flows (downslope density currents; turbid flows), and bottom currents— determine sediment ...

Abstract A variety of subaerial and submarine events, including mass‐wasting and volcanism, can generate sediment gravity flows and fallout deposits that are preserved in deep‐water stratigraphic records. This study examines whether event beds with differing depositional and transport histories exhibit distinct thickness‐frequency distributions ...

Abstract Most volcanic eruptions on Earth take place below the ocean surface and remain largely unobserved. Reconstruction of past submerged eruptions has thus primarily been based on the study of seafloor deposits. Rarely before the 15 January 2022 eruption of Hunga volcano (Kingdom of Tonga) have we been able to categorically link deep‐sea deposits ...

Enigmatic Deep‐Water Seafloor Depressions East of Tortue Island, Northern Haiti Margin
Abstract A widespread area of seafloor depressions ‐ circular, arcuate to elongated‐shaped ‐ has been found along the Northern Haitian coast, at water depths between 600 and 2,000 m. Characterized by wavelengths spanning several hundred meters and heights of tens of meters, these depressions are linked with a series of narrow ridges boasting varied ...

Bathymodioline mussel dominated Miocene whale fall from Italy [PDF]
The bones of an unidentified odontocete from the Langhian Pantano Formation (~ 15 million years ago), found near the town of Carpineti (Reggio Emilia), Northern Italy, are associated with more than two hundred specimens of the bathymodioline mussel ...

Sediment delivery to the northern Hikurangi Trough has been driven by transverse gravity flows funnelled through the Māhia Canyon, alongside contributions from the overspill of the axial Hikurangi Channel. Large‐scale sediment waves and scours were formed by flows from the Māhia Canyon during MIS2 in response to substantially higher sediment fluxes ...

Using pollen in turbidites for vegetation reconstructions
ABSTRACT Turbidites, deposited by sub‐aqueous gravity flows, are common in sedimentary archives worldwide and present a unique challenge and opportunity when reconstructing past vegetation through pollen analysis. When sampling pollen from a sediment core for palaeovegetation records, it is common practice to target background sediments (i.e.

Changes in macroinvertebrate community structure provide evidence of neutral mine drainage impacts [PDF]
Contamination of aquatic environments as a consequence of metal mining is an international issue. Most historic studies have considered the impact of acid mine drainage (pH < 6) on instream communities and comparatively little attention has been given ...

A thick and continuous Messinian unit of primary sulfate evaporites recognized in the Adriatic foredeep represent an effective seal for potential gas storage sites that can be located in the underlying late Miocene carbonate or siliciclastic porous units.

An incomplete correlation between pre-salt topography, top reservoir erosion, and salt deformation in deep-water Santos Basin (SE Brazil) [PDF]
In deep-water Santos Basin, SE Brazil, hypersaline conditions during the Aptian resulted in the accumulation of halite and carnallite over which stratified evaporites, carbonates and shales were folded, translated downslope and thrusted above syn-rift ...
