Publicación de un monográfico sobre "Deep-water Circulation: Processes & Products"

Se ha publicado un monográfico en la revista Geo-Marine Letters (vol. 31, nº 5/6) sobre procesos y productos geológicos relacionados con la circulación de masas de aguas en profundidad en los océanos, consta de 17 artículos originales y una introducción al estado del conocimiento de está interesante materia. Se presentan varios ejemplos acerca de la influencia de estos procesos en medios actuales (Mar Mediterráneo, Golfo de Cádiz, Margen de Argentina, Estrecho de Davis, Margen de Mozambique, Mar del Norte) así como su estudio evolutivo, e incluso algunos ejemplos en medios fósiles.

Deep-water Circulation: Processes & Products (16–18 June 2010, Baiona): introduction and future challenges

• Topographic control on the nascent Mediterranean outflow
• Along-slope oceanographic processes and sedimentary products around the Iberian margin
• Contourites within a deep-water sequence stratigraphic framework
• Impact of pulsed Atlantic water inflow into the Alboran Basin at the time of the Zanclean flooding
• Pliocene–Quaternary contourites along the northern Gulf of Cadiz margin: sedimentary stacking pattern and regional distribution
• Pliocene to Recent shallow-water contourite deposits on the shelf and shelf edge off south-western Mallorca, Spain
• Variations in bottom water activity at the southern Argentine margin: indications from a seismic analysis of a continental slope terrace
• The Middle Miocene to Recent Davis Strait Drift Complex: implications for Arctic–Atlantic water exchange
• Evidence for current-controlled sedimentation along the southern Mozambique continental margin since Early Miocene times
• Enigmatic large-scale furrows of Miocene to Pliocene age from the central North Sea: current-scoured pockmarks?
• Furrows in the southern Scan Basin, Antarctica: interplay between tectonic and oceanographic influences
• Interaction between seabed morphology and water masses around the seamounts on the Motril Marginal Plateau (Alboran Sea, Western Mediterranean)
• Contourites offshore Pantelleria Island (Sicily Channel, Mediterranean Sea): depositional, erosional and biogenic elements
• Middle slope contourite deposits and associated sedimentary facies off NE Argentina
• Evidence of internal-wave and internal-tide deposits in the Middle Ordovician Xujiajuan Formation of the Xiangshan Group, Ningxia, China
• Ichnological data as a useful tool for deep-sea environmental characterization: a brief overview and an application to recognition of small-scale oxygenation changes during the Cenomanian–Turonian anoxic event
• Implemented Lomb-Scargle periodogram: a valuable tool for improving cyclostratigraphic research on unevenly sampled deep-sea stratigraphic sequences
