Glacial and post-glacial sedimentary processes in the Irish Rockall Trough from an integrated acoustic analysis of near-seabed sediments (original) (raw)

Controls on Submarine Canyon Development Along the Eastern Margin of the Rockall Trough

2001

Deep towed sidescan sonar data from the Rockall Trough, west of Ireland, provides an example of how shallow sedimentary facies architecture and slope morphology, related to major submarine canyons, evolve in a deep-water basin straddling the transition from a glaciated to a non-glaciated basin margin. In the north (54° to 56° N), glacial influences were overwhelming and a stacked sequence
