Journal ArticleDOI
Cold-water corals in the Cap de Creus canyon, northwestern Mediterranean: spatial distribution, density and anthropogenic impact
TL;DR: In this paper, the occurrence and density of three cold-water coral (CWC) species (Madrepora oculata, Lophelia pertusa and Dendrophyllia cornigera) were investigated in the Cap de Creus canyon (north- western Mediterranean) by conducting and analysing 22 video survey transects.
Journal ArticleDOI
Very high-resolution seismo-acoustic imaging of seagrass meadows (Mediterranean Sea): Implications for carbon sink estimates
Claudio Lo Iacono,Miguel Ángel Mateo,Eulàlia Gràcia,Lluis Guasch,Ramón Carbonell,Laura Serrano,Oscar Serrano,Juan José Dañobeitia +7 more
TL;DR: In this article, very high-resolution seismo-acoustic methods were applied to image the subsurface features of a Posidonia oceanica seagrass meadow at Portlligat (Cadaques, Girona, Spain), in the NW-Mediterranean Sea.
Journal ArticleDOI
Seafloor characterization and backscatter variability of the Almería Margin (Alboran Sea, SW Mediterranean) based on high-resolution acoustic data
Claudio Lo Iacono,Eulàlia Gràcia,S. Diez,Graziella Bozzano,Ximena Moreno,Juanjo Dañobeitia,Belén Alonso +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper, an acoustic study of the Almeria Margin (eastern Alboran Sea, SW Mediterranean) was carried out by means of an integrated dataset, comprising deep-towed TOBI sidescan sonar, swath-bathymetry, TOPAS high-resolution seismics and sediment gravity cores.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: In this article, a new mound field, the West Melilla mounds, interpreted as being cold-water coral mounds has been recently unveiled along the upper slope of the Mediterranean Moroccan continental margin, a few kilometers west of the Cape Tres Forcas.
Journal ArticleDOI
Morphobathymetric analysis of the large fine-grained sediment waves over the Gulf of Valencia continental slope (NW Mediterranean)
Marta Ribó,Pere Puig,Araceli Muñoz,Claudio Lo Iacono,Pere Masqué,Pere Masqué,Pere Masqué,Albert Palanques,Juan José Tamayo Acosta,Jorge Guillén,María Gómez Ballesteros +10 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a detailed analysis of recently acquired swath bathymetry, together with high-resolution seismic profiles and bottom sediment samples, revealed the presence of large-scale fine-grained sediment waves over the Gulf of Valencia continental slope.
