Journal ArticleDOI

Southwest Pacific Ocean response to a warming world: Using Mg/Ca, Zn/Ca, and Mn/Ca in foraminifera to track surface ocean water masses during the last deglaciation

TL;DR: In this paper, in situ measurements of Mg/Ca, Zn/Ca and Mn/Ca in Globigerinoides bulloides and Globigerina ruber from southwest Pacific core top sites and plankton tow are reported and their potential as paleoproxies is explored.
Journal ArticleDOI

The Motunau Fault and other structures at the southern edge of the Australian-Pacific plate boundary, offshore Marlborough, New Zealand

TL;DR: In this article, the authors used 3.5 kHz profiler records and other marine geologic data collected on G.R.V. “Tangaroa” Cruises 1097 and 1116 to show that the shelf north of the Motunau fault is underlain by complexly deformed sediments.
Journal ArticleDOI

Current controlled sediment deposition from the shelf to the deep ocean: the cenozoic evolution of circulation through the SW pacific gateway

TL;DR: For example, the deep western boundary current (DWBC) is intimately linked with the Antarctic circumpolar current (ACC), which is the prominent force for the shallow-water circulation as discussed by the authors.
Journal ArticleDOI

The bounty channel system: A 55-million-year-old sediment conduit to the deep sea, Southwest Pacific Ocean

TL;DR: The main Bounty Channel is about 800 km long and forms a sediment transport link between the continental margin and the distal Bounty Fan, located at the mouth of the Bounty Trough and onlapping onto abyssal oceanic crust as mentioned in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI

Acoustical characterisation of seafloor sediments and its relationship to active sedimentary processes in Cook Strait, New Zealand

TL;DR: In this paper, 3.3.5 kHz seismic profiles are used to characterise the seabed in Cook Strait and various acoustical responses have been classified into nine groups or echo-types which, together with sediment samples, photographs, and side scan sonography, provide an insight into modern erosional and depositional processes operating in the strait.
