Tectonics at the axis of the very slow spreading Southwest Indian Ridge: Insights from TOBI side-scan sonar imagery
Provedor de dados: 5
Autores: Gomez, O; Briais, Anne; Sauter, D; Mendel, V.
We present the analysis of the deformation in the axial valley of two contrasted regions of the very slow spreading Southwest Indian Ridge based on side-scan sonar images. Our objective is to investigate how the obliquity is accommodated along the system. We show that the robust magmatic segments have axial valleys and major faults subperpendicular to spreading. The other sections show fault populations with various degrees of obliquity, often arranged in left-stepping echelons, accommodating part of the strike-slip deformation. Side-scan sonar reveals the presence of a corrugated surface near 59 degrees E interpreted to be an incipient detachment fault. We show that the large width of the SWIR oblique sections, and the difference in tectonic style between...

Morphology, distribution and origin of recent submarine landslides of the Ligurian Margin (North-western Mediterranean): some insights into geohazard assessment

Based on new multibeam bathymetric data, seismic-reflection profiles and side-scan sonar images, a great number of submarine failures of various types and sizes was identified along the northern margin of the Ligurian Basin and characterized with 3 distinct end-members concerning their location on the margin, sedimentary processes and possible triggering mechanisms. They include superficial landslides mainly located in the vicinity of the main mountain-supplied rivers and on the inner walls of canyons (typically smaller that 10(8) m(3) in volume: Type 1), deep scars 100-500 m high along the base of the continental slope (Type 2), and large-scale scars and Mass Transport Deposits (MTDs) affecting the upper part of the slope (Type 3 failures). The MTDs are...

Crepidula fornicata L. (mollusque, gastéropode) en baie de Marennes-Oléron : cartographie des fonds par sonar à balayage latéral et estimation du stock
Provedor de dados: 5
Autores: Sauriau, Pierre-guy; Pichocki-seyfried, C; Walker, P; De Montaudouin, Xavier; Palud, Cecile; Heral, Maurice.
Extensive and detailed subtidal ground mapping of the Marennes-Oleron Bay and Fouras-Aix areas was performed with a side-scan sonar. Side-scan sonographs gave a comprehensive view of sedimentological bottom environments and also allowed us to outline locations of grounds colonised by the gastropod mollusc Crepidula fornicata L. with a precise estimate of their surface. A sedimentological map of the centre of the Marennes-Oleron Bay is given, describing spatial organisation of the following four types of sediment: pure mud, fine sand, coarse sand and rocks. Crepidula beds were also recognised on sonographs and were estimated to cover 181 hectares in the Fouras-Aix area and 615 hectares within the Marennes-Oleron Bay. Standard sampling methods were then...
