Abstract
Based upon 3-D seismic reflection data, published drill core studies, oceanographic observations and numerical modelling, this study identifies a small scale contourite depositional system that is locally confined by canyons, slope failures, erosional terraces and erosional slopes on the Jianfeng slope, northern South China Sea (~1500 to ~2300 m water depth). Possible oceanic driving mechanisms for the spatial heterogeneity in sedimentation and...
