Seismic record of a cyclic turbidite-contourite system in the Northern Campos Basin, SE Brazil

Bruna Teixeira Pandolpho et al.

Summary: A new mixed turbidite-contourite system in the northern Campos Basin in southeastern Brazil is described, showing alternating cycles of downslope and alongslope processes, as well as an intermediate stage with features from both processes. Seismic analysis reveals distinct acoustic characteristics and depositional trends associated with alongslope and downslope currents, providing insights into deep-water depositional processes and potentially impacting future hydrocarbon reservoir architecture.

A mixed turbidite - contourite system related to a major submarine canyon: The Marques de Pombal Drift (south-west Iberian margin)

Davide Mencaroni et al.

Summary: This study investigates a deep-sea sediment deposit adjacent to a major canyon in the North Atlantic, revealing the interaction between the Mediterranean Outflow Water and turbidity currents flowing along the canyon. The results suggest that canyons deeper than the turbidity currents require an additional process to allow interaction with the Mediterranean Outflow Water and transport sediment out of the canyon. This interaction between turbidity currents and contour currents in canyons worldwide may require intermediate nepheloid layers to export the finer-grained fraction of turbidity currents at the boundary between major water masses.

Lateral migration of large sedimentary bodies in a deep-marine system offshore of Argentina

Adam Kirby et al.

Summary: Contourite features are observed along the base of the Argentine slope, showing lateral migration of large sedimentary bodies and four main morphological elements. The sedimentary stacking patterns suggest three evolutionary stages, indicating that lateral migration is not limited to shallow marine environments. The study highlights the influence of bottom currents and secondary oceanographic processes on contourite morphologies and provides insights into basin analysis and paleoceanographic reconstructions.

The elusive continental rise: Insights from residual bathymetry analysis of the Northwest Atlantic margin

D. C. Mosher et al.

Summary: The morphology of divergent continental margins is shaped by rift processes, the interaction of oceanic, continental, and transitional crust, and sedimentary processes. Classifying margin components into shelf, slope, rise, and abyssal plain segments can be challenging due to complex geomorphologies. This study aims to develop a methodology to better identify and understand the rise component.

Contourite and mixed turbidite-contourite systems in the Mozambique Channel (SW Indian Ocean): Link between geometry, sediment characteristics and modelled bottom currents

Elda Miramontes et al.

Summary: Oceanic currents in the Mozambique Channel have been shown to significantly impact the seafloor morphology and sedimentary characteristics, with multiple erosional and depositional features identified. Modelled bottom currents exhibit high variability, suggesting episodic intense circulation rather than a constant flow. The study also revealed three types of mixed turbidite-contourite systems and proposed a simplified classification of contourites worldwide.
