摘要: Abstract High-resolution single channel sparker reflection seismic data revealed the presence of large-scale sediment waves nearby DSDP Site 548, located on Goban Spur. They developed in a gentle terraced environment which contrasts with canyon-incised Celtic margin, and relatively smooth Porcupine Seabight to north. Based upon morphological characteristics observed seabed buried waves, energetic alongslope bottom currents are thought be driving mechanism for wave development. These driven their turn by an enhanced internal tide regime that could attributed introduction Mediterranean Outflow Water. The 548 downhole geophysical stratigraphic analysis allowed differentiation three sequences relate evolutionary stages since lower Pliocene. bounded local erosional events, associated mass wasting seem occur roughly synchronously major northern hemisphere glaciations, respectively during Lower Pleistocene (~ 2.5 2.15 Ma), Middle (~ 0.45 Ma). sequence (from ~ 4.5 ~ 2.15 Ma) shows no evidence bottom-current sedimentation. It is however settled over surface indicate intermediate characterised have gradually close association palaeo-seafloor irregularities. inferred sedimentation resumed relative current energy increase. youngest recorded active formation, similar previous sequence. Although Spur cannot regarded as contourite drifts such, evolution corresponds other well-documented depositional systems, influenced
