The response of tidal and residual currents to small scale morphological differences over abrupt
deep sea topography (Seine Seamount) was estimated for bathymetry grids of different spatial
resolution. Local barotropic tidal model solutions were obtained for three popular and publicly
available bathymetry grids (Smith and Sandwell TOPO8.2, ETOPO1 and GEBCO08)...
Accurately estimating the vertical flux of material reaching the seafloor from the overlying surface waters is essential for the paleoceanographic reconstruction of a wide variety of oceanic processes. Two approaches are currently being used. One consists of estimating mass accumulation rates (MAR) between dated horizons as the product of linear...
Application of the ²³⁰Th normalization method to estimate sediment burial fluxes in six cores from the
eastern equatorial Pacific (EEP) reveals that bulk sediment and organic carbon fluxes display a coherent regional
pattern during the Holocene that is consistent with modern oceanographic conditions, in contrast with estimates
of bulk mass...
