Sediment Export Dynamics Reflecting the Holocene Hydrodynamic Variability of a High-Energy Continental Shelf System (Southeastern South America)

Abstract: This study reconstructs Holocene hydrodynamic changes on the outer shelf off Uruguay by examining deposits from a morphological terrace on the uppermost continental slope (250 m water depth). Seismo-acoustics, litho- and chronostratigraphy, granulometry, and Neodymium isotopy were applied to three sediment cores. The 9.5-m thick terrace sediment record, documenting the past 11.5 cal ka BP, provides exceptional insight into the transport and settling mechanisms of the sand injected from the shelf into the open … Show more

“…These studies aim to understand how the events of long-term exposure and limited subsidence have controlled the characteristics of the Holocene sedimentation, the distribution of the seascapes and the human uses management, particularly for the fishery areas (Dominguez et al, 2013;Figure 5P). They also aim to study the dominant sedimentary processes (outer-shelf hydrodynamic, effects, crossshelf export mechanisms, bottom-current, transport) which are discussed based on seism-acoustic profiles, lithological texture, grain-size distribution, and terrigenous Neodymium isotopic data (Hanebuth et al, 2019; Figure 5M). Chronological studies were developed to investigate the temporal evolution of geological structures (Riedinger et al, 2017;Collot et al, 2019).…”
