- W2797804950 abstract "Abstract The northern shelf of the Strait of Gibraltar adjacent to Camarinal Sill, defined here as the Cape Paloma continental shelf, has been investigated by analyzing a set of geophysical data including multibeam bathymetric images, a side-scan sonar mosaic and high-resolution seismic profiles, and the simulation of water-mass circulation patterns along the northern coastal margin. The aim of the study was to establish the significance of factors determining the evolution of this shallow margin at different temporal scales and to assess the implications for bedform generation in strait settings, taking into account the complex tectonic evolution and the energetic hydrodynamic regime of the strait. Deformed basement rocks are part of the Betic-Rif thrust wedge, western Gibraltar Arc, mainly formed by the materials of the Flysch Complex units and covered by Pliocene to Quaternary post-orogenic deposits. A central high (Bajo de los Cabezos High) is delimited by lateral depressions, that nucleated two major depocentres with distinctive filling histories. The eastern depocentre is controlled by WNW-ESE faults cutting the Cretaceous-Miocene basement rocks; these faults generate horsts and grabens that could have contributed to the opening of the Strait of Gibraltar during the Pliocene. The largest and westernmost depocentre is related to the complete infilling of a shelf palaeovalley. The sediment cover is molded by different fields of submarine dunes and comet marks that indicate the influence of hydrodynamic processes on sediment transport at the coastal margin. The observations in the study area regarding bedform development must be placed into a wider context of strait sediment dynamics. The Cape Paloma continental shelf exhibits both erosional and depositional forms, due to its intermediate location between the strait, mostly dominated by erosional processes, and the Barbate Platform (northwest of the study area), mostly characterized by depositional forms. The long-term evolution of the sediment depocentres in the study area appears to be mainly influenced by the morpho-tectonic configuration of the margin, which in turn was established to a large extent by differential uplifting along the coast. In the shelf east of the central high, the basement horst and graben structure trapped sediments in the physiographic lows and fostered the formation of large-scale sediment banks. In the shelf west of the central high, the occurrence of a major infilled palaeovalley is in agreement with a gentle subsidence trend. The physiographic configuration is also thought to play a major role in defining short-term processes, particularly in confining a cyclonic eddy to the east of the Bajo de los Cabezos High during specific conditions of the tidal cycle. This eddy favors the recirculation of sediments in the coastal margin, as evidenced by small bedform fields that apparently show a wider distribution that the larger-scale, confined sediment banks, due to the instauration of the modern sediment dynamics after the complete shelf flooding. The sediment transport pattern established in the study area seems to be eventually captured by a submarine channel that provide an efficient mechanism for sediment export toward deep-water settings, where an extensive contourite depositional system has been documented." @default.
