Looking for clues to paleoceanographic imprints: A diagnosis of the Gulf of Cadiz contourite depositional systems

Abstract: A new morphosedimentary map of the Gulf of Cadiz is presented, showing the contourite depositional system on the gulf's middle slope. This map is constructed from a broad database provided by the Spanish Research Council and the U.S. Naval Research Laboratory. Our map shows that this contourite depositional system comprises five morphosedimentary sectors: (1) proximal scour and sand ribbons; (2) overflow sedimentary lobe; (3) channels and ridges; (4) contourite deposition; and (5) submarine canyons. The Gulf o… Show more

“…Kenyon and Belderson, 1973;García et al, 2009). The GDR forms a topographic high that constricts the MOW circulation pathways, dividing the current into minor branches (Nelson et al, 1993;Hernández-Molina et al, 2003). The lower core ofthe MOW has acted with different intensity in the CCC during the Late Quaternary.…”

“…It also has several depositional and erosive features such as contourite channels, furrows and marginal valleys (e.g. Hernández-Molina et al, 2003Llave et al, 2006;García et al, 2009). Part of the CDS has developed on the offshore extension of the Betic Chain.…”
