The contourite paradigm was conceived a few decades ago, yet there remains a need to
establish a sound connection between contourite deposits, basin evolution and …

Abstract The Scotia Sea is one of the tectonically most complex and least understood back-
arc basins on Earth, which partly results from its remote location making the acquisition of …

Ona Basin is a small intra-oceanic basin located in the southwestern corner of the Scotia
Sea. This region is crucial for an understanding of the early phases of opening of Drake …

Carbonate environments inhabit the realm of the surface, intermediate and deep currents of
the ocean circulation where they produce and continuously deliver material which is …

Contourite drifts are anomalously high sediment accumulations that form due to reworking
by bottom currents. Due to the lack of a comprehensive contourite database, the link …

Abstract Scotia Sea and the Drake Passage is key towards understanding the development
of modern oceanic circulation patterns and their implications for ice sheet growth and decay …

Bottom current deposits (contourites) form in association with modern-day or ancient
oceanic gateways. A paucity of examples in the ancient record and the lack of consensus on …

Abstract An uncommonly continuous Lower Jurassic (uppermost Sinemurian and
Pliensbachian) section (Llanbedr (Mochras Farm) Borehole, Cardigan Bay Basin, UK) …

Deep‐marine deposits provide a valuable archive of process interactions between sediment
gravity flows, pelagic sedimentation and thermohaline bottom‐currents. Stratigraphic …

The sinking of the ocean sea bottom is produced by thermal cooling of the lithosphere. This
evolution is determined by the underlying asthenospheric mantle. Estimation of the Curie …
