The pathways and transformations of dense water overflows, which depend on small-scale interactions between flow dynamics erosional-depositional processes, are a central piece in the ocean's large-scale circulation. A novel, high-resolution current hydrographic data set highlights intricate pathway travelled by saline Mediterranean Overflow as it enters Atlantic. Interaction with topography constraints its spreading. Over initial 200 km west Gibraltar gateway, distinct channels separate...
The invasive seaweed Rugulopteryx okamurae has recently arrived in Europe from the western Pacific. Its explosive spread on coastal areas of Gulf Cádiz (GoC), Strait Gibraltar and Alboran Sea is spoiling native ecosystems inflicting heavy losses ecosystem services. We discovered for first time large amounts (up to 17 g m–2) detached R. thalli deep-sea bottoms GoC that are being dragged shores into NE Atlantic by Mediterranean Outflow Water (MOW). Laboratory experiments revealed collected...
Abstract An ecologically representative, well‐connected, and effectively managed system of marine protected areas (MPAs) has positive ecological environmental effects as well social economic benefits. Although progress in expanding the coverage MPAs been made, application management tools not yet implemented most these areas. In this work, distribution models were applied to nine benthic habitats on a Mediterranean seamount within an MPA for conservation purposes. Benthic habitat occurrences...
Clinforms are classical geological features.Examples in the rock record or seismic reflection data that originally formed shallow water can potentially help to locate paleo-sea level, but their precise links with sea level need be established using modern examples before such inferences made accurately.Some near-shore areas of high wave energy and steep coasts host sand bodies upwards-convex surfaces.These clinoforms have been suggested created from exported upper shoreface during stormy...

Alboran Sea, shelf, surficial sediments, backscatter, hydrodynamic modelRecent sedimentary processes led by forcing and laterally variable fluvial supplies are investigated in the eastern shelf of northern Sea margin. This study highlights high spatial variability a relatively small area with an abrupt physiography subjected to seasonal strongly fluctuating climate. We correlate seafloor sediments backscatter distributions extracted from multibeam echo sounder data; addition, wind-forced...
