Modeling Sedimentary Deposits on the Continental Margin
A first objective is to investigate the fabric (pattern) of seabed stratification on continental margins at small time and space scales (1 cm-50 cm depth into the seabed; 1 hr-3 yrs sedimentary record). To this end, we are testing the hypothesis that on muddy shelves such as the northern California shelf, Holocene event stratigraphy consists of the deposits of high-concentration storm regimes a...
متن کاملTectonic inheritance at a continental margin
GSA Today: v. 16, no. 2, doi: 10.1130/1052-5173(2006)016<4:TIAACM>2.0.CO;2 INTRODUCTION Forty years ago, the eastern margin of North America inspired Tuzo Wilson (1966) to ask, “Did the Atlantic close and then re-open?” The Wilson cycle of closing and opening of ocean basins incorporates the cyclic assembly and breakup of supercontinents. Alternate processes of extension and compression of cont...
متن کاملGermanium–silicon fractionation in a river-influenced continental margin: The Northern Gulf of Mexico
In this study we have sampled the water column and sediments of the Gulf of Mexico to investigate the effects of high riverine terrigenous load and sediment redox conditions on the cycling of Ge and Si. Water column Ge/Si ratios across the Gulf of Mexico continental shelf range from 1.9 to 25 lmol/mol, which is elevated compared to the global ocean value of 0.7 lmol/mol. The Ge enrichment in th...
متن کاملGeochemistry and Thermobarometry of Bazman volcanic rocks, An example of active continental margin volcano
Bazman volcano is located in the Makran-Chaghi magmatic arc in southeastern Iran. Many studies have been done on this volcano, especially of petrology such as: Biabangard and Mollazadehbarvati, 2017; Berberian and Berberian, 1982; Mohammadi, 2005; Sahandi et al., 2010; Schmidt and Dabiri, 2019; Firoozkoohi, et al., 2017; Ghodsi et al., 2006; Glamghash et al., 2015; Karimpour et al., 2012; St...
متن کاملCross–Shelf Exchange Along the Antarctic Continental Margin: Modeling Results
The shelf areas around the Antarctic Continent are locations of dense water formation; part of these water masses ventilate the adjacent deep ocean basins and enter the global thermohaline circulation. This paper takes a look at regional differences of shelf sea–deep ocean exchange in high southern latitudes (mainly between the Weddell and Ross Seas), highlights a few physical mechanisms potent...
