Distinguishing between Deep-Water Sediment Facies: Turbidites, Contourites and Hemipelagites

Geosciences, 2020
The distinction between turbidites, contourites and hemipelagites in modern and ancient deep-water systems has long been a matter of controversy. This is partly because the processes themselves show a degree of overlap as part of a continuum, so that the

Enhanced North Pacific Victoria mode in a warming climate

npj Climate and Atmospheric Science
The Pacific Decadal Oscillation (PDO), renowned as the dominant sea surface temperature (SST) fluctuation in the North Pacific and extensively scrutinized for its extensive influence on global climate patterns, stands in stark contrast to the Victoria ...

Rise of oceanographic barriers in continuous populations of a cetacean: the genetic structure of harbour porpoises in Old World waters

BMC Biology, 2007
Background Understanding the role of seascape in shaping genetic and demographic population structure is highly challenging for marine pelagic species such as cetaceans for which there is generally little evidence of what could effectively restrict their

The Optical Signature of a Bottom Boundary Layer Ventilation Event in the Northern Gulf of Mexico's Hypoxic Zone

Geophysical Research Letters, 2018
Oceanographic observations in the northern Gulf of Mexico captured an unusual combination of atmospheric forcing and shelf frontal dynamics that brought about the surface ventilation of sediment‐laden bottom waters.

Acoustic imaging of stable double diffusion in the Madeira abyssal plain

Scientific Reports
Sub-mesoscale and mesoscale (i.e., 1–10 km and 10–200 km, respectively) ocean processes are highly relevant for the understanding of global circulation, mixing of water masses and energy exchange between ocean layers.
