dc.description.abstract | ABSTRACT: Turbidity currents on continental margins are often attributed to cyclic climate variability and sea-level change, while the causes of deep ocean turbidites are as yet to be tested. The Atlantic Iberian margin provides a unique setting to contrast deep ocean and continental environments, including depression features that further protect from resuspension and erosion by along-slope bottom currents. We present records of low-frequency, non-periodic, climate-independent turbidites from three deep cores covering up to 426,000 years in the Tore seamounts area. By evaluating a range of physical oceanographic mechanisms, the breaking of internal waves and mesoscale Mediterranean-eddies against unstable slopes in the seamounts area arises as the most likely triggers that precondition the recurrence pattern of the observed deep ocean turbidites. | eng |
