Open WL Archief (OWA)

Over het archief

Het OWA, het open archief van het Waterbouwkundig Laboratorium heeft tot doel alle vrij toegankelijke onderzoeksresultaten van dit instituut in digitale vorm aan te bieden. Op die manier wil het de zichtbaarheid, verspreiding en gebruik van deze onderzoeksresultaten, alsook de wetenschappelijke communicatie maximaal bevorderen.

Dit archief wordt uitgebouwd en beheerd volgens de principes van de Open Access Movement, en het daaruit ontstane Open Archives Initiative.

Abstract

DSDP Site 548 on Goban Spur has been investigated using high-resolution single channel sparker reflection seismic data. Alongslope bottom currents are thought to be the driving mechanism for large-scale sediment waves development. These currents are driven on their turn by an enhanced internal tide regime that could be attributed to the MOW introduction, which characterized the presence of a strong pycnal gradient. The integration of the seismic stratigraphy with the DSDP Site 548 downhole geophysical data allowed the proposition of a better chronostratigraphic and lithostratigraphic correlation. The early to late Pliocene sequence (from ~4.2 to ~2.7Ma) shows no morphological evidence of bottom current driven sedimentation. However, from the late Pliocene (i.e. ~2.7Ma) to present, large-scale sediment waves have gradually developed in close association with palaeo-seafloor irregularities, inferring that sedimentation resumed with a marked large bottom current energy increase. The late Pliocene and the middle Pleistocene units contain mass wasting intervals. Although the Goban Spur sediment waves cannot be regarded as a contourite drift as such, the stratigraphic evolution shows striking similarities to well-documented MOW induced contourite drift systems along the northeast Atlantic margin, more especially as an intermediate site between le Danois bank and the Porcupine Seabight.
