Contourite Processes

Contourite Processes is a sedimentary process characterized by the deposition, reworking, and transport of marine sediments by persistent, deep-ocean bottom currents associated with thermohaline circulation, distinguishing it from other marine sedimentary processes dominated by gravity-driven or surface-wave influences.
