TL;DR: In this article, the processes, pathways and fluxes of sediment transport and deposition in the Nazare submarine canyon, Portuguese continental margin, were investigated by water column profiling of suspended particulate matter, recording of near-bottom currents, and analysis of surface sediment cores.

Molecular characterization of dissolved organic matter in pore water of continental shelf sediments
TL;DR: In this article, molecular variations of pore water DOM in surface sediments from the NW Iberian shelf were analyzed by ultra-high-resolution Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance mass spectrometry (FT-ICR-MS) and compared to river and marine water column DOM.

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.

A multiproxy approach of the Holocene evolution of shelf-slope circulation on the NW Iberian Continental Shelf
V. Martins,Jesus Dubert,J. M. Jouanneau,Olivier Weber,Eduardo Ferreira da Silva,Carla Patinha,João Miguel Dias,Fernando Rocha +7 more
TL;DR: In this article, the OMEX core KSGX 40 of the Galicia Mud Deposit, of the NW Iberian outer continental shelf, off the Ria de Vigo (North of Spain) was used to study textural, mineralogical, geochemical, and microfaunal data (benthic foraminifera) along with the BFOI data.

Upwelling Patterns off Portugal
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used remote sensed sea surface temperatures to characterize the Portuguese coastal upwelling from the distribution and evolution of its surface thermal signature, and found that during the summer, upwelled waters occupied the surface layers over the whole western shelf and part of the upper slope of Portugal, and their areal extent pulsates onshore-offshore in response to cycles of northerly winds, reaching 30-50 km from the coast under calm conditions and extending to 100-200 km during and shortly after strong north winds.

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.
