Secondary flow in contour currents controls the formation of moat-drift contourite systems
Communications Earth & Environment, 2023 Ocean currents control seafloor morphology and the transport of sediments, organic carbon, nutrients, and pollutants in deep-water environments. A better connection between sedimentary deposits formed by bottom currents (contourites) and hydrodynamics is

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2023 Bottom trawling is a fishing method that involves towing of nets along the seafloor to catch demersal species. The dragging of trawling gears along the seafloor results in scraping and ploughing of the surficial sediments, leading to the formation of ...

Geophysical Monograph Series, Page 263-304., 2021 Exploring the links between Large Igneous Provinces and dramatic environmental impact
An emerging consensus suggests that Large Igneous Provinces (LIPs) and Silicic LIPs (SLIPs) are a significant driver of dramatic global environmental and biological changes, including mass extinctions.

Bathymetric data integration approach to study bedforms in the estuary of the Saint‐Lawrence River
Frontiers in Remote Sensing, 2023 The identification of bedforms has an important role in the study of seafloor morphology. The presence of these dynamic structures on the seafloor represents a hazard for navigation.

Seafloor Morphology and Processes in the Alboran Sea
, 2021 49 pages, 15 figures The seafloor of the Alboran Sea reflects its complex tectonic, sedimentary, and oceanography dynamics as a consequence of the geological context, involving interaction between the Eurasian and African plates, and oceanographic context, as it is where the Atlantic and Mediterranean waters meet. Their physiography has a semi-enclosed

The diverse morphology of pockmarks around Aotearoa New Zealand
Frontiers in Marine Science, 2023 Seafloor pockmarks are abundant around Aotearoa New Zealand, occurring across a diverse range of tectonic, sedimentological and geomorphological settings.

Bathymetry and Shallow Seismic Imaging of the 2018 Flank Collapse of Anak Krakatau
Frontiers in Earth Science, 2021 The flank failure and collapse of Anak Krakatau on December 22nd, 2018 triggered a destructive tsunami. Whether the prior activity of the volcano led to this collapse, or it was triggered by another means, remains a challenge to understand.
