Journal ArticleDOI
Along-slope oceanographic processes and sedimentary products around the Iberian margin
Francisco Javier Hernandéz-Molina,Nuno Serra,Dorik A. V. Stow,Estefanía Llave,Gemma Ercilla,David Van Rooij +5 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors comprehensively describe regional contourite (along-slope) processes and their sedimentary impacts around the Iberian margin, combining numerically simulated bottom currents with existing knowledge of contouritic depositional and erosional features.
Journal ArticleDOI
Sedimentary processes in the Selvage sediment‐wave field, NE Atlantic: new insights into the formation of sediment waves by turbidity currents
TL;DR: An integrated geophysical and sedimentological investigation of the Selvage sediment-wave field has revealed that the sediment waves are formed beneath unconfined turbidity currents as discussed by the authors, which is very close to the antidune existence limits.
Journal ArticleDOI
Contourite processes associated with the Mediterranean Outflow Water after its exit from the Strait of Gibraltar: Global and conceptual implications
Francisco Javier Hernandéz-Molina,Estefanía Llave,Benedict Preu,Gemma Ercilla,A. Fontan,Miguel Bruno,Nuno Serra,J.J. Gomiz,Rachel Brackenridge,F. J. Sierro,Dorrik A. V. Stow,Marga García,Carmen Juan,Nieves Sandoval,A. Arnaiz +14 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors characterize the eastern Gulf of Cadiz, proximal to the Strait of Gibraltar, using a multidisciplinary approach that combines oceanographic, morphosedimentary, and stratigraphic studies.
Journal ArticleDOI
Gas-charged sediments and large pockmark-like features on the Gulf of Cadiz slope (SW. Spain)
Jesu´s Baraza,Gemma Ercilla +1 more
TL;DR: Gassy sediments and large seafloor pockmarks are identified from seismic profiles in the Gulf of Cadiz slope as mentioned in this paper, which is believed to be biogenic in origin, resulting from the decay of organic matter contained within rapidly developed regressive shelf margin deltas.
Journal ArticleDOI
Stratal architecture of Western Mediterranean Margins as the result of the stacking of Quaternary lowstand deposits below ‘glacio-eustatic fluctuation base-level’
TL;DR: In this article, a comparison of high-resolution seismic stratigraphy of seven Western Mediterranean Margins, similarities and differences in stratigraphic architecture were highlighted, and a hierarchy of controlling factors was established.
