Bottom currents are key processes that contribute to the shaping of submarine slopes, with redistribution sediments in contourite systems. Despite numerous recent studies on systems, complexity and diversity these sedimentary systems still not fully understood often underestimated. Their understanding requires comprehensive works integrating all scales from seismic architecture microfacies. Thi...

Ocean sediment drifts contain important information about past bottom currents but a direct link between the study of sedimentary archives and ocean dynamics is not always possible. To close this gap for North Atlantic, we set up new coupled Ice-Ocean-Sediment Model N. Atlantic - Arctic region. In order to evaluate potential model, conducted decadal sensitivity experiments. our model contouriti...

Carbonate contourite drifts are poorly documented in the onshore record because of difficulty implementing diagnostic criteria for their recognition. Accordingly, little is known about relative position carbonate with respect to ancient platforms, seaways and shallow passages within context palaeoceanography. This study presents a fossil example mixed carbonate-siliciclastic drift cropping out ...

Abstract The deep-sea stratigraphic record is full of gaps. These hiatuses track changes in ocean circulation and chemistry, but determining their timing causes has been limited by sparse data incomplete knowledge gateway evolution earlier studies. We combine a significantly expanded, age-calibrated database with global tectonic paleo–water depth model to investigate the distribution >40...
