There has in recent times been a progress within the quantity and point of reports of contourite deposits. newest experiences of contourites have significant strains of curiosity. One, propelled through the oil industry's non-stop movement into more and more deep waters, matters their financial importance. the opposite contains the stratigraphic/ palaeoceanographic list of ocean move alterations imprinted on contourite deposits that may be a key to realizing higher the weather ocean connection. the appliance of many alternative theoretical, experimental and empirical assets supplied by way of geophysics, sedimentology, geochemistry, petrology, scale modeling and box geology are utilized in the sixteen papers of this quantity, providing solutions to these major points. The papers are subdivided into significant different types (economic curiosity and stratigraphic/palaeoceanographic significance), with case reports starting from well-documented drifts to new examples of contemporary and fossil sequence, concerning a wide range of geographic and physiographic eventualities worldwide.Also on hand: THE planned look for THE STRATIGRAPHIC catch - specified book no. 254 - ISBN 1862391920 Submarine Slope platforms - ISBN 1862391777

Some sandy intervals are coarsening upwards. Both cores have coarse s a n d gravel top layers, which are thought to have formed as a result of increased activity of NSOW in the Holocene (Stage 1). Geometry of sand bodies Seismic, sidescan sonar and coring data indicate that most of the sand is transported along the channels. High-amplitude reflectors observed on the seismic records beneath channels suggest that 34 A. A K H M E T Z H A N O V ETAL. a NORTH ATLANTIC CONTOURITE SAND CHANNELS 35 Fig.
