Contour current driven continental slope-situated sandwaves with effects from secondary current processes on the Barents Sea margin offshore Norway
King, Edward L.; Bøe, Reidulv; Bellec, Valérie K.; Rise, Leif Christian; Skardhamar, Jofrid; Ferré, Bénédicte; Dolan, Margaret F.J. (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2014-04-15)Seabed data acquired from the southern Barents Sea continental margin offshore Norway reveal detailed morphology of large sandwave fields. Multibeam echosounder bathymetry and backscatter, shallow seismic, sediment samples and seabed video data collected by the MAREANO program have been used to describe and interpret the morphology, distribution and transport of the sandwaves. The bedforms lie on a ... -
Impact of natural (waves and currents) and anthropogenic (trawl) resuspension on the export of particulate matter to the open ocean: Application to the Gulf of Lion (NW Mediterranean)
Ferré, Bénédicte; Durrieu de Madron, X.; Estournel, C.; Ulses, G.; Le Corre, G. (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2008-02-17)<p>Modern sediment deposits on continental margins form a vast reservoir of particulate matter that is regularly affected by resuspension processes. Resuspension by bottom trawling on shelves with strong fishing activity can modify the scale of natural disturbance by waves and currents. Recent field data show that the impact of bottom trawls on fine sediment resuspension per unit surface is comparable ...
