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 …

Animals living in the Southern Ocean have evolved in a singular environment. It shares
many of its attributes with the high Arctic, namely low, stable temperatures, the pervading …

Abstract Distinctive uppermost Ediacaran–Ordovician rocks (Avalonian overstep sequence)
were key in definition of Avalonia, which comprises large areas of the NE Appalachians and …

This study provides an integrated review of plate tectonic models of the evolution of the
Antarctica–Patagonia connection compared to geological records collected on land in …

The present paper is mostly a synthesis of work conducted on the continental margin of the
Gulf of Cádiz using a broad database collected by several cruises and projects supported by …

A minimum-complexity tectonic reconstruction, based on published and new basin opening
models, depicts how the Scotia Sea grew by Cenozoic plate divergence, dismembering a …

Our knowledge of the biodiversity of the Southern Ocean (SO) deep benthos is scarce. In
this review, we describe the general biodiversity patterns of meio-, macro-and megafaunal …

Contourite depositional systems have been the focus of much recent research, but still
relatively little is known about contourite erosive features and their associated processes …

Understanding how environmental forcing has generated and maintained large‐scale
patterns of biodiversity is a key goal of evolutionary research and critical to predicting the …

We present an interdisciplinary study of the geomorphology, sedimentology and physical
oceanography of the Alboran Sea (south-western Mediterranean Sea) to evaluate the …
