Book Description:
There has lately been a growth in the number and level of studies of contourite deposits. Most recent studies of contourites have two major lines of interest. One, propelled by the oil industry's continuous move into increasingly deep waters, concerns their economic significance. The other involves the stratigraphic/ palaeoceanographic record of ocean circulation changes imprinted on contourite deposits that can be a key to understanding better the climate ocean connection. The application of many different theoretical, experimental and empirical resources provided by geophysics, sedimentology, geochemistry, petrology, scale modeling and field geology are used in the 16 papers of this volume, proposing answers to those two main aspects. The papers are subdivided into two major categories (economic interest and stratigraphic/palaeoceanographic significance), with case studies ranging from well documented drifts to new examples of modern and fossil series, involving a large diversity of geographic and physiographic scenarios worldwide.Also available: THE DELIBERATE SEARCH FOR THE STRATIGRAPHIC TRAP Special Publication no. 254 ISBN 1862391920 Submarine Slope Systems ISBN 1862391777
