Journal ArticleDOI
Contourites and associated sediments controlled by deep-water circulation processes: State-of-the-art and future considerations
TL;DR: The contourite paradigm was conceived a few decades ago, yet there remains a need to establish a sound connection between contourites, basin evolution and oceanographic processes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Onset of Mediterranean outflow into the North Atlantic

Sloss,Yasuhiro Takashimizu,Alexandrina Tzanova,Antje H L Voelker,Trevor Williams,Chuang Xuan +34 more
TL;DR: The results reveal a detailed history of the timing of Mediterranean outflow water activity and show how the addition of that warm saline water to the cooler less-salty waters of the Atlantic was related to climate changes, deep ocean circulation, and plate tectonics.
Journal ArticleDOI
Deciphering bottom current velocity and paleoclimate signals from contourite deposits in the Gulf of Cádiz during the last 140 kyr: An inorganic geochemical approach
André Bahr,Francisco J. Jiménez-Espejo,Nada Kolasinac,Patrick Grunert,F. Javier Hernández-Molina,Ursula Röhl,Antje H L Voelker,Carlota Escutia,Dorrik A. V. Stow,David A. Hodell,Carlos A. Alvarez-Zarikian +10 more
TL;DR: This article investigated the potential of geochemical data obtained by XRF scanning to decipher bottom current processes and paleoclimatic evolution at two different sites drilled during IODP Expedition 339 through contourites in the northern Gulf of Cadiz (GC).
Journal ArticleDOI
Significance of bottom currents in deep-sea morphodynamics: An example from the Alboran Sea
Gemma Ercilla,Carmen Juan,F. Javier Hernández-Molina,Miguel Bruno,Ferran Estrada,Belén Alonso,David Casas,David Casas,Marcel-lí Farran,Estefanía Llave,Marga García,J. Tomás Vázquez,Elia d'Acremont,Christian Gorini,Desiré Palomino,Javier Valencia,Bouchta El Moumni,Abdellah Ammar +17 more
TL;DR: In this paper, an interdisciplinary study of geomorphology, sedimentology and physical oceanography of the Alboran Sea (southwestern Mediterranean Sea) is presented to evaluate the potential role of bottom currents in shaping the Spanish and Moroccan continental margins and adjacent basins.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: For the first time, a multidisciplinary approach to evaluate the influence of bottom currents in the Uruguayan continental margin is presented in this paper, which contains an impressive array of large erosive, depositional (drifts) and mixed (terrace) features, which have been generated primarily by the near-bottom flows associated with water masses of Antarctic and subantarctic origin.
