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.
