Contourite depositional systems offshore Madeira Island: Decoding the deepwater...

There is still a great unawareness about the deep-water circulation in the NE-Central Atlantic since the Late Cretaceous. The morphology, sedimentary stacking pattern and distribution of contourite depositional systems have been widely used as paleoceanographic indicators, given clues about the relative velocity and pathways of bottom currents past-circulation. We present here evidence of a new contourite featu...

Interplay of deep-marine sedimentary processes with seafloor morphology offshor...

The deep-water sedimentary processes and morphological features offshore Madeira Island, located in the Central-NE Atlantic have been scantly studied. The analysis of new multibeam bathymetry, echo-sounder profiles and few multichannel seismic reflection profiles allowed us to identify the main geomorphologies, geomorphic processes and their interplay. Several types of features were identified below 3800 m wate...

Multiproxy characterization of high energy layers in the nner continental shelf...

The occurrence of sedimentary layers indicating high energy events is common in the continental shelves sedimentary record. Their presence has been usually related either to tsunami waves or storm waves. In both cases, the identification of the transport mechanism requires a variety of proxies. This work presents the preliminary results of the analysis of a gravity core (MW-107) collected at ca. 57 m water dept...

Structural control and tectono-sedimentary evolution of the Gulf of Cadiz, SW I...

The Gulf of Cadiz Contourite Depositional System (GCCS) developed due to the interaction of the Mediterranean Outflow Water (MOW) with the middle continental slope of the SW Iberian continental margin. The GCCS evolved in a complex tectonic setting within the foreland of the Betic Orogeny and near the Nubia-Eurasia plate boundary. This study used tectonostratigraphic analysis of an extensive 2D multichannel sei...

The Late Pleistocene-Holocene sedimentary evolution of the Sines Contourite Dri...

The Sines Contourite Drift (SCD), located in the Alentejo margin, southwest Iberian continental margin, has been through many depositional phases in result of dimatic variations and bottom current oscillations, which determined a variable depositional pattern and an irregular sedimentary evolution since the Late Pleistocene. The SCD, being in the main path of the Mediterranean Outflow Water (MOW), which greatly...

Offshore 1755 CE Lisbon Tsunami deposit in the southern portuguese continental ...

The importance of tsunami hazard assessment is only possible if a complete dataset of events is available, allowing the determination of the recurrence intervals of the tsunamis adapted to local and regional conditions. One possible way to know these intervals is to study the offshore sedimentary record, looking for sediment remobilised and transported by the incoming tsunami waves and generated backwash curren...

The Alpine Orogeny in the West and Southwest Iberia Margins.

The Alpine orogeny is well recorded onshore and offshore by tectonic inversion of the Mesozoic rift basins. Large scale linear seamounts (more than 250 km long and with up to 5 km of uplift) involving oceanic and continental lithosphere were carried on top of thrusts, such as the Gorringe seamount and the Estremadura Spur in the SouthWest and West Iberia Margin, respectively. The SouthWest Iberia Margin also re...

Profiling and Case Study of Patients in a Diabetology Visit

Background: Diabetes mellitus (DM) is one of the 21st century’s greatest challenges in health. The authors aimed tocharacterize a group of patients with DM and to analyze theirvascular risk factors, metabolic profile, and the therapeuticstrategies used.Material and Methods: In this retrospective observationalstudy, 300 patients with DM who had been followed in Diabetology visits for three years were randomly in...
