The purpose of this study is to differentiate and characterise contouritic sands in two different
locations with variable sediment compositions (siliciclastic and bioclastic) based on a …

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 …

By combining real-field observations and theoretical predictions, we describe role and
relationships among north-propagating internal solitary waves (ISWs) generated by tidal …

We present a semi‐analytical model for predicting the breaking location of internal solitary
waves (ISWs) over a sloping seabed. Our conceptual model is based on laboratory …

To understand the main environmental factors controlling the benthic foraminiferal
distribution along continental slopes, and corroborate paleoenvironmental interpretations …

We propose a semi‐analytic approach to estimate mixing induced by internal solitary waves
(ISWs) breaking over a sloping boundary. The theoretical framework we develop describes …

Abstract The Messina Strait is a c. 3–8 km-wide and 40 km-long extensional area that
connects the Tyrrhenian Sea with the Ionian Sea (Mediterranean Sea), and where tectonics …

The complex topography of submarine canyons may result in different composition of
benthic foraminifera assemblages. To understand how trophic, hydrological and …

The combination of oceanographic processes and a negligible fluvial terrestrial sediment
contribution makes the Santos Basin margin (southwestern Brazil) a unique environment for …

There is still a great unawareness about the deep-water circulation in the NE-Central
Atlantic since the Late Cretaceous. The morphology, sedimentary stacking pattern and …
