This project studies the effects of dense shelf water cascading on seafloor morphology, focusing on its role in ocean circulation and climate change. It aims to quantify sediment transport and understand the physical processes involved.
Dense shelf water cascading (DSWC) is an atmosphere-driven seasonal phenomenon that occurs in marine regions off Europe and elsewhere. DSWC starts when surface waters over the continental shelf become denser than surrounding waters and sink, generating a near-bottom turbulent flow that moves downslope along the seabed.
This process contributes to the deep ocean ventilation and in the global thermohaline circulation (and hence global climate), and involves the massive transfer of energy and matte…
