Recognizing key sedimentary facies and their distribution in mixed turbidite-contourite depositional systems: The case of the Pacific margin of the Antarctic Peninsula

Sara Rodrigues et al.

Summary: The interplay of deep-water sedimentary processes in mixed turbidite-contourite systems plays a crucial role in the formation of various features and deposits. This study focuses on modern mixed systems found in the Pacific margin of the Antarctic Peninsula, and investigates the spatial and temporal variability of sedimentary facies and their associations. Three main facies associations have been identified, reflecting fluctuations in sedimentation, current velocities, and gravity-driven currents. The sedimentary record suggests a strong link between variations in along-slope bottom currents and down-slope turbidity currents during glacial-interglacial cycles. Sedimentary records from polar margins, such as the Antarctic Peninsula, are important for understanding bottom-current deposits.

Cretaceous continental margin evolution revealed using quantitative seismic geomorphology, offshore northwest Africa

Max Casson et al.

Summary: The application of high-resolution seismic geomorphology and lithological data offshore The Gambia documents a complex tectono-stratigraphic history through the Cretaceous, revealing the spatial-temporal evolution of submarine canyons and estimating the intra- versus extra-basinal sediment budget. The evolution of the continental margin from the Jurassic to Aptian is characterized by carbonate escarpment development followed by the first major siliciclastic sediment delivery during the Albian age, linked to hinterland exhumation events. Submarine canyonisation initiated at the palaeo-shelf edge, controlled by lithological contrast, and lasted for approximately 28 million years, dissecting the inherited seascape topography.

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.

Fault-controlled contourite drifts in the southern South China Sea: Tectonic, oceanographic, and conceptual implications

Shan Liu et al.

Summary: This study investigates contourite drifts in the southern South China Sea for the first time, identifying the common occurrence of a lesser-known type: the fault-controlled drift. Six fault-controlled drifts are generated in the study area, divided into two major types based on their shapes, locations, and relative faulting movements. The depth of the South China Sea Deep Water, shallower in the southern region compared to the northern part, tentatively suggests upwelling and impacts on the meridional overturning circulation. Additional research is needed to further understand the effects of faulting on sedimentary stacking patterns, geometries, and evolution of contourite drifts in different tectonic settings.

Glacial, fluvial and contour-current-derived sedimentation along the northern North Sea margin through the Quaternary

Christine L. Batchelor et al.

Summary: The Quaternary sediments in the northern North Sea contain important information about glacial history, paleo-oceanographic conditions, and slope stability. The integration of seismic stratigraphic studies and lithological data has revealed different sedimentary units and depositional processes, leading to a new model for the Quaternary evolution of this region. This study also provides insights into sedimentary architectures and seismic facies that can be applied to other continental margins.

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.
