Sediment resuspension and transport by internal solitary waves
Large-amplitude internal waves induce currents and turbulence in the bottom boundary
layer (BBL) and are thus a key driver of sediment movement on the continental margins …

Tidal dunes versus tidal bars: The sedimentological and architectural characteristics of compound dunes in a tidal seaway, the lower Baronia Sandstone (Lower …
The Lower Eocene Baronia Formation in the Ager Basin is interpreted as a series of stacked
compound dunes confined within a tectonically generated embayment or tidal seaway. This …

Characteristics of a black coral meadow in the twilight zone of the central Mediterranean Sea
The hard substrata of the Mediterranean twilight zone commonly host the large, white,
branched Antipathella subpinnata (Antipatharia, Myriopathidae). We discovered one of the …

The impact of internal waves on upper continental slopes: insights from the Mozambican margin (southwest Indian Ocean)
E Miramontes, G Jouet, E Thereau… - Earth Surface …, 2020 - Wiley Online Library
Evidences of sedimentation affected by oceanic circulation, such as nepheloid layers and
contourites are often observed along continental slopes. However, the oceanographic …

Controls on the global distribution of contourite drifts: Insights from an eddy-resolving ocean model
Contourite drifts are anomalously high sediment accumulations that form due to reworking
by bottom currents. Due to the lack of a comprehensive contourite database, the link …

Sandy contourite drift in the late Miocene Rifian Corridor (Morocco): reconstruction of depositional environments in a foreland-basin seaway
Abstract The Rifian Corridor was a seaway between the Atlantic Ocean and the
Mediterranean Sea during the late Miocene. The seaway progressively closed, leading to …

The role of Internal Solitary Waves on deep-water sedimentary processes: the case of up-slope migrating sediment waves off the Messina Strait
Subaqueous, asymmetric sand waves are typically observed in marine channel/canyon
systems, tidal environments, and continental slopes exposed to strong currents, where they …
