Bottom currents play a major role in deep‐sea sedimentation, but their significance in the
burial of organic carbon is poorly quantified at a global scale. Here we show that Holocene …

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 …

How plate tectonics may affect full-depth ocean/sea circulation is not well understood. We
used seismic data plus drilling/core and geomorphologic data to examine the influence of …

The seafloor morphology reflects both past and on‐going sedimentary, oceanographic and
tectonic processes. Vertical movement is one of the drivers responsible for reshaping the …

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 …

Contourites (contour‐current deposits) are commonly associated with deep‐water
environments, but this study documents a shallow‐water, muddy contourite drift in the centre …

Bottom-current deposits, formed in association with ancient oceanic gateways, preserve
records of past global oceanic circulation, plate-tectonic events and palaeogeographical …

ABSTRACT The Ewing Terrace is a relatively flat surface formed by the action of bottom
currents and part of a contourite depositional system (CDS) at the Argentine continental …

Numerous bottom current-controlled depositional and erosional features, which together
form Contourite Depositional Systems (CDS), have been recognized in deep-water settings …

Mapping sedimentary features to delineate ancient ocean gateways from 3D seismic data
has long been a challenge due to their limited vertical resolution. We present the technique …
