Submarine landslides pose a hazard to coastal communities as they can generate powerful
tsunamis, and threaten critical offshore infrastructure such as seafloor cable networks that …

The distinction between turbidites, contourites and hemipelagites in modern and ancient
deep-water systems has long been a matter of controversy. This is partly because the …

Contourite deposits are significant facies in deep-water sedimentary environments because
they record critical paleoclimatological and paleoceanographic data. Contourite research …

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

The differentiation of pure turbidites and contourites from mixed deposits—as the bottom
current reworked sands (BCRS)—in sedimentary cores and outcrops from the modern or …

Despite numerous efforts to properly differentiate between contourites and other deep‐water
deposits in cores and outcrops, reliable diagnostic criteria are still lacking. The co …

To investigate past changes in the Mediterranean Overflow Water (MOW) to the Atlantic, we
analyzed the strength of the MOW and benthic δ13C along the last 250 kyr at Integrated …

Interbedded contourites, turbidites and pelagites are commonplace in many deep‐water
slope environments. However, the distinction between these different facies remains a …

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 …

The underpinning problems of deep-water facies still remain unresolved.(1) The Tb, Tc, and
Td divisions of the turbidite facies model, with traction structures, are an integral part of the …
