The Argentina Continental Margin A Potential Paleoclimatic-Paleoceanographic Archive for the Southern Ocean /

The evolution of the Argentina Continental Margin during the Quaternary and the stratigraphic and morphosedimentary configuration responded to climatic variability, oceanographic changes, glacioeustatic fluctuations and tectono-isostatic processes, which began to impact on the margin during previous...

Πίνακας περιεχομένων:
  • The Argentina Continental Margin (ACM)
  • Location in the context of the Southern Hemisphere, the southern tip of South America and Antarctica
  • The ACM as an archive for paleoclimatic and paleoceanographic changes
  • Local and regional processes: climate, oceanography, sea-level fluctuations, isostasy, tectonism, sediment supply, sedimentary processes
  • Oceanographic Context: interaction between Antarctic and Equator water-masses
  • Environments: continental shelf, slope, rise, ocean basin
  • Sedimentary processes in each of them: along-shore and across-shore processes
  • Effects of the sea-level fluctuations on the shelf
  • Effects of the water-masses circulation on the slope and rise
  • Turbiditic and contouritic processes
  • Morphosedimentary features in each environment
  • The significance of the ACM as a potential archive for understanding local and regional processes.
