The carbonate factories model, as defined at the beginning of the century, provides a
subdivision of marine carbonate sediment production‐systems based on the style of …

Particle settling velocity is a fundamental parameter in sedimentology and engineering, and
has accordingly received much attention in the literature. Grain properties, such as shape …

Oceanic currents can profoundly reshape the seafloor and even modify the characteristics of
turbidite systems. Multiple erosional and depositional features directly formed by bottom …

Earth's future environment depends critically on how the marine ecosystems react to the
current greenhouse conditions. Past warming events from the Middle Eocene can shed light …

Recent high-resolution multibeam bathymetry and seismic data from the platform-top to the
abyssal plain of the Zhongsha Platform allow for a detailed investigation of the …

Particle transport and deposition in turbidity currents is governed by the balance between
turbulent suspension and gravitational settling, with settling velocity becoming dominant …

Seamounts are vulnerable ecosystems targeted by fishing and potentially by future mineral
exploitation. Their abundance, widespread distribution, and heterogeneity of faunal and …

Heat flow in the Northern Mozambique Channel is poorly constrained, with only a few old
measurements indicating relatively low values of 55–62 mW/m2. During the SISMAORE …

Mixed siliciclastic–carbonate sediments in the distal settings of marine systems (ie, offshore
and basin areas) are the result of the complex interaction between production of benthic and …

Abstract The Lansdowne Bank is a partly drowned, isolated carbonate platform of around
4000 km 2 located 300 km west of New Caledonia, in the SW Pacific Ocean, in water depths …
