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 …

Interactions between along-slope bottom currents and down-slope turbidity flows can create
a myriad of features and deposits. Despite numerous efforts to differentiate contourites from …

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 …

The discovery of the super-giant Coral and Mamba gas fields in the offshore of Northern
Mozambique provides a unique insight into the architecture of a new deep-water play-type …

When we look back the contributions on submarine fans during the past 65 years (1950–
2015), the empirical data on 21 modern submarine fans and 10 ancient deep-water systems …

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 …

The contourite depositional system (CDS) along the southwestern Iberian Margin (SIM),
within the Gulf of Cadiz and offshore areas of western Portugal bear the unmistakable signal …

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 …
