The object of this study was to clarify the characteristics of the biological pump system
operating in permanently or seasonally ice-covered ocean (cryopelagic) conditions by …

Near-boundary mixing affects the dispersal of seawater constituents and may have
important consequences for ecological and geological processes since continental …

Particulate organic carbon (POC) is vertically transported to the oceanic interior by
aggregates and their ballasts, mainly CaCO3 and biogenic opal, with a smaller role for …

Along the Atlantic European continental margin, living cold-water coral reefs occur over a
wide bathymetric and hydrographical range. Focusing on 2 regions, the Celtic and the …

A long-term experiment of downward particle fluxes and currents has been initiated in 1993
on the continental slope of the Gulf of Lions (NW Mediterranean) and pursued within the …

We review mechanisms and studies of exchange between the north-east Atlantic and the
adjacent shelf seas. Well-developed summer upwelling and associated filaments off …

The upper branch of the Atlantic meridional overturning circulation (AMOC) plays a critical
role in ocean circulation and climate change, yet its variability during the last glacial period …

High resolution measurements of temperature and current velocity over the seabed in the
Faeroe‐Shetland Channel (FSC) reveal an intense internal wave train, referred to as a …

The distribution of nepheloid layers across the outer shelf and upper continental slope off
Namibia was studied during a cruise with RV Meteor in late austral summer 2003. Optical …

In 1948, Le Danois reported for the first time the occurrence of living cold-water coral reefs,
the so-called “massifs coralliens”, along the European Atlantic continental margin. In 2008, a …
