Journal ArticleDOI
Winter dynamics on the northern Portuguese shelf. Part 1: physical processes
TL;DR: In this article, a program of observations carried out on the northern Portuguese shelf and slope, between July 1996 and June 1999, was used to characterise the main physical processes of the winter regime.
Journal ArticleDOI
Clay minerals from the sedimentary cover from the Northwest Iberian shelf
Álvaro Oliveira,Fernando Rocha,Aurora Rodrigues,J. M. Jouanneau,Ágata Alveirinho Dias,Olivier Weber,Celso Gomes +6 more
TL;DR: In this article, the distributions of clay mineral in the top layer of the sedimentary cover are shown to be related to their continental sources, but also reflect the influences of winter storms and longshore currents in determining the pathways of sediment transport.
Journal ArticleDOI
Present day sedimentary processes on the northern Iberian shelf
João Alveirinho Dias,J. M. Jouanneau,R. Gonzalez,Maria Fátima Araújo,Teresa Drago,C. Garcia,Álvaro Oliveira,Aurora Rodrigues,J. Vitorino,Olivier Weber +9 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors describe the mechanisms controlling the deposition of the fine-grained sediment depositions and the processes that result in resuspension processes on the Galicia-Minho Shelf.
Journal ArticleDOI
Recent sedimentation and sedimentary budgets on the western Iberian shelf
J. M. Jouanneau,Olivier Weber,Teresa Drago,Aurora Rodrigues,Álvaro Oliveira,João Alveirinho Dias,C. Garcia,Sabine Schmidt,Jean-Louis Reyss +8 more
TL;DR: In this paper, Dias et al. collected 31 box-core samples from the mud-patches of the Galician and North-Portuguese shelf and measured the particulate organic carbon (Corg) content.
Journal ArticleDOI
Winter dynamics on the northern Portuguese shelf. Part 2: bottom boundary layers and sediment dispersal
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined the impact of the dynamic processes in the lower water column, particularly on the Douro Mud Patch (DMP), on the offshore export of fine sediments.
