" There are more coral species in deep, cold-waters than in tropical coral reefs. This broad- ranging treatment is the first to synthesise current understanding of all types of cold-water …
Turbulent bottom currents significantly influence the formation of cold-water coral mounds and sedimentation processes on continental slopes. Combining records from coral mounds …
Ecological-niche factor analysis (ENFA) was applied to the reef framework-forming cold- water coral Lophelia pertusa. The environmental tolerances of this species were assessed …
Cold-water coral carbonate mound development is the result of complex and interactive hydrographical, biological and geological processes that can result in morphostructures …
Over the recent years, two research fields addressing continental slope sedimentary systems have gained significant momentum: contourites and cold-water coral mounds …
Deep-water coral reefs are found along large sections of the outer continental shelves and slopes of Europe, from North Cape to the Gulf of Cadiz, and because they also occur along …
Sr isotope stratigraphy provides a new age model for the first complete section drilled through a deep-water coral mound. The 155-m-long section from Challenger Mound in the …

U-series dating of constructional cold-water corals is a powerful tool to reconstruct the evolution of corals on carbonate mounds. Here we have investigated the time framework of …
Offshore banks and seamounts sustain diverse megafaunal communities, including framework reefs formed by cold-water corals. Few studies have quantified environmental …
