Abstract: Abstract Submarine sediment failures and related mass-transport deposits (MTDs) are widespread on the eastern Canadian continental slope settings and in general, have been related to ice sheets crossing the outer shelf. The southeastern Grand Banks… read more here.

Abstract: Abstract The upper continental slope offshore Capo Vaticano (southern Tyrrhenian Sea) is characterized by a contourite depositional system with well-developed elongated sediment drifts. This system is related to a northward paleo-bottom current, similar to the… read more here.
