Three-dimensional S-wave velocity structure of oceanic core complexes at 13N on the Mid-Atlantic Ridge (2022)
Journal Article
Peirce, C., Funnell, M., Reston, T., & MacLeod, C. (2022). Three-dimensional S-wave velocity structure of oceanic core complexes at 13N on the Mid-Atlantic Ridge. Geophysical Journal International, 232(1), 615-642. https://doi.org/10.1093/gji/ggac350

13°N on the Mid-Atlantic Ridge is regarded as a type site for oceanic core complexes (OCCs). Within ~70 km along the spreading centre, it hosts four OCCs in different stages of their life cycle making this an ideal location to determine how OCCs are...

Carbon and sediment fluxes inhibited in the submarine Congo Canyon by landslide-damming (2022)
Journal Article
Pope, E. L., Heijnen, M. S., Talling, P. J., Jacinto, R. S., Gaillot, A., Baker, M. L., …Urlaub, M. (2022). Carbon and sediment fluxes inhibited in the submarine Congo Canyon by landslide-damming. Nature Geoscience, 15(10), 845-853. https://doi.org/10.1038/s41561-022-01017-x

Landslide-dams, which are often transient, can strongly affect the geomorphology, and sediment and geochemical fluxes, within subaerial fluvial systems. The potential occurrence and impact of analogous landslide-dams in submarine canyons has, however...

Longest sediment flows yet measured show how major rivers connect efficiently to deep sea (2022)
Journal Article
Talling, P. J., Baker, M. L., Pope, E. L., Ruffell, S. C., Jacinto, R. S., Heijnen, M. S., …Hilton, R. J. (2022). Longest sediment flows yet measured show how major rivers connect efficiently to deep sea. Nature Communications, 13(1), https://doi.org/10.1038/s41467-022-31689-3

Here we show how major rivers can efficiently connect to the deep-sea, by analysing the longest runout sediment flows (of any type) yet measured in action on Earth. These seafloor turbidity currents originated from the Congo River-mouth, with one flo... Read More about Longest sediment flows yet measured show how major rivers connect efficiently to deep sea.

Active ocean-continent transform margins: seismic investigation of the Cayman Trough-Swan Island ridge-transform intersection (2022)
Journal Article
Peirce, C., Grevemeyer, I., Hayman, N., & Van Avendonk, H. (2022). Active ocean-continent transform margins: seismic investigation of the Cayman Trough-Swan Island ridge-transform intersection. Geophysical Journal International, 229(3), 1604-1627. https://doi.org/10.1093/gji/ggac019

The southern boundary of the Cayman Trough in theCaribbean is marked by the Swan Islands transform fault (SITF), which also represents the ocean-continent transition of the Honduras continental margin. This is one of the few places globally where a t... Read More about Active ocean-continent transform margins: seismic investigation of the Cayman Trough-Swan Island ridge-transform intersection.
