During the SEDIFAN 1 cruise we surveyed the bathymetry and the acoustic properties of the surface sediment of the Celtic Deep Sea Fan. We also collected Kullenberg cores in order to study recent sedimentary processes. From the bathymetry survey it is relatively easy to recognize the main areas of modern fan. The upper fan included a large sedimentary ridge which constitutes the right levee of the prominent meandering Whittard valley. After its confluence with the Shamrock valley the course of the Whittard valley is abruptly deflected to the south. At a short distance to the south the valley divides into two upper-fan channels, the Celtic channel to the west being the deeper one. This point constitutes the centre of a radiating pattern which is developed on...

Development patterns of fringing and barrier reefs in New Caledonia (southwest Pacific)
Provedor de dados: 5
Autores: Cabioch, G; Correge, T; Turpin, L; Castellaro, C; Recy, J.
In New Caledonia, core data indicate that the fringing reefs grew during the last interglacial and the Holocene, while the barrier reefs developed during several high sea level stands of the Quaternary. These growth periods are archived in a 128-m-long core from Ilot Amedee, offshore of Noumea. Directly upon the peridotitic substrate (reached at 126.50 m), a basal unit comprising abundant rhodoliths, molluscs and rare corals is characteristic of the pioneer stage of barrier reef development. Above it, a severely calcitized unit contains corals, molluscs and abundant micritic levels. Then, a sequence punctuated by several minor discontinuities and by a downward increase in diagenetic alteration is found. At 47 m core depth, a unit, which is thought to be...

Lithologie des délestages glaciaires (niveaux de Heinrich) de l'Eperon de Goban (Atlantique Nord-Est)
Provedor de dados: 5
Autores: Van Rooij, David.
Goban Spur is a marginal plateau, 250 km SW of Ireland, with the Celtic Margin on its eastern side and Porcupine Seabight Basin on its northern side. A set of NNE-SSW trending escarpments separate the upper part of Goban Spur from the Porcupine Abyssal Plain. We have studied a transect of Kullenberg cores taken during the 1984 Norestlante 2 campaign. Biostratigraphical and sedimentological (carbonate content) analyses were carried out by Müller [1986] and Foucault [1987]. All cores were accurately cleaned and described before digital photographs were taken in order to obtain grey level profiles and an estimate of the coarse grain size fraction (&gt; 150 µm). Magnetic susceptibility and gamma density measurements were obtained using a GEOTEK Multi Sensor...
