Oceanic currents can profoundly reshape the seafloor and even modify the characteristics of
turbidite systems. Multiple erosional and depositional features directly formed by bottom …

This study aimed to investigate the quality and quantity of organic matter (OM) using
biochemical components (protein, carbohydrate and lipids) in the sediment cores collected …

Abstract The Zambezi River rises at the center of southern Africa, flows across the low-relief
Kalahari Plateau, meets Karoo basalt, plunges into Victoria Falls, follows along Karoo rifts …

Large sediment masses are transferred over many hundreds of kilometres along the coast of
passive continental margins worldwide. The relevance of such a phenomenon for source‐to …

The Congo deep-sea fan, the largest on Earth fed entirely with anorogenic detritus, is
characterized by quartzose to pure quartzose sand, reflecting multiple recycling coupled …

Submarine gravity flow processes on carbonate platform slopes can lead to the deposition of
calciturbidite and calcidebrite beds on the adjacent deep-water seafloor. Such deposits …

We here present the first comprehensive provenance study of the Zambezi deep-sea fan,
based on integrated petrographic, heavy-mineral, elemental-geochemistry, isotope …

Accurately depicting the spatial structure characteristics of Quaternary loose sedimentary
strata is not only of great significance for the research of Quaternary geological evolution …

The pattern of sediment dispersal and the location of sediment depocentres on continental
margins can be very complex in both space and time. We aim at investigating how …

High-resolution multichannel seismic reflection data that spans significant parts of the
Mozambique margin offshore the Zambezi River permits the study of the Oligocene to …
