    Notes: Abstract For the investigation of climatic history for the last 65 million years, several holes were drilled in 1990 on the Ontong Java Plateau by the drilling vessel Joides Resolution, under the auspices of the international Ocean Drilling Program. The Ontong Java Plateau is the largest basalt plateau on earth, and was formed in the Middle Cretaceous. From the core material, seismic reflectors from the overlying sediments can be associated with specific, climate-related oceanic events. For the cyclic sediments of the last 2 million years, high-resolution isotope curves were generated which depict the two dominant Milankovitch cycles with periods of 100 000 and 41000 years.

    Notes: Abstract  We provide a reconstruction of atmospheric CO2 from deep-sea sediments, for the past 625 000 years (Milankovitch chron). Our database consists of a Milankovitch template of sea-level variation in combination with a unique data set for the deep-sea record for Ontong Java plateau in the western equatorial Pacific. We redate the Vostok ice-core data of Barnola et al. (1987). To make the reconstructions we employ multiple regression between deep-sea data, on one hand, and ice-core CO2 data in Antarctica, on the other. The patterns of correlation suggest that the main factors controlling atmospheric CO2 can be described as a combination of sea-level state and sea-level change. For best results squared values of state and change are used. The square-of-sea-level rule agrees with the concept that shelf processes are important modulators of atmospheric CO2 (e.g., budgets of shelf organic carbon and shelf carbonate, nitrate reduction). The square-of-change rule implies that, on short timescales, any major disturbance of the system results in a temporary rise in atmospheric CO2.

    Description / Table of Contents: Zusammenfassung Die Sedimentfazies der Zungenriff-Systeme nördlich der Insel Spiekeroog werden beschrieben und mit analogen Gebilden anderer Schelfmeere verglichen, um ihre Genese und Erhaltung besser zu verstehen. Sedimentkerne von den verschiedenen morphologischen Zonen zweier benachbarter, 3–5 m hoher Zungenriffe zeigen, daß: (1) die Riffe sich in eine obere, etwa 60 cm mächtige, aus orange-braunen, mittel- bis grobkörnigen, schillreichen Sanden bestehende und eine darunterliegende, aus feinkörnigen und horizontalgeschichteten grauen Sanden bestehende Schicht unterteilen lassen; (2) mindestens eine, zum Hangenden hin feinerwerdende Sturmlage vorkommt; (3) sich die Trogfazies des inneren Riffes von der des äußeren Riffes durch ein breiteres Korngrößenspektrum, häufiger auftretende Sturmlagen und dem Fehlen von tidestromerzeugten Gefügemerkmalen auszeichnet; (4) die Sedimente der landseitigen Flanken aus massiven oder schlecht geschichteten, grobkörnigen und schilldurchsetzten Abfolgen aufgebaut sind, während die Sedimente der seewärtigen Flanken feinkörniger und durch Bioturbation geprägt sind; (5) die Riffkämme verschiedenartige, durch tiden-, wellen-und sturmerzeugte Strömungen geprägte Stratifikationstypen aufweisen. Dieser engräumige lithologische Kontrast der Sedimente sowohl in benachbarten als auch in morphologisch analogen Zonen ist überraschend. Die Tatsache, daß die normalen Tidenströme mit ihrem hohen Sedimenttransportpotential die Zungenriffe nicht zerstören, deutet darauf hin, daß diese einen wichtigen Beitrag zum Erhalt der Zungenriffe in der Deutschen Bucht spielen.
    Notes: Summary The sedimentary facies of the shoreface-connected ridges off Spiekeroog Island, German Bight, are presented and compared with their counterparts in other shelf settings in order to better understand the processes that form and maintain the ridges. Core samples from successive morphozones of two adjacent (inner and outer) 3–5m high ridges show that: (1) the ridges consist of a ca. 60 cm thick surficial unit characterized by orange-brown, medium-to coarse-grained, shell-rich sands that overlie a subsurface unit of finegrained, horizontally laminated greyish sands; (2) one or more 10–18 cm thick, upward-fining storm beds are commonly present; (3) the trough facies of the inner ridge differs from its outer ridge counterpart by a broader range of grain sizes, a more frequent occurrence of storm beds, and a paucity of internal sedimentary structures relating to tidal current activity; (4) the landward flank facies comprise massive to poorly bedded, coarse-grained shelly sands, whereas the sands of the seaward flanks are fine-grained and mostly bioturbated; (5) on ridge crests a variety of stratification types, reflecting tidal, wave and storm currents, are observed. Given their close spatial association, the marked lithological contrasts between adjacent facies and comparable ridge morphozones are surprising. The fact that the sediment transport capacity of normal fairweather tidal currents is high, suggests that these tides play an important role in the maintenance of the shoreface-connected ridges in the German Bight.

    Description: The continental margin off Uruguay and northern Argentina is characterized by high fluvial input by the de la Plata River and a complex oceanographic regime. Here we present first results from RV Meteor Cruise M78/3 of May–July 2009, which overall aimed at investigating sediment transport processes from the coast to the deep sea by means of hydroacoustic and seismic mapping, as well as coring using conventional tools and the new MARUM seafloor drill rig (MeBo). Various mechanisms of sediment instabilities were identified based on geophysical and core data, documenting particularly the continental slope offshore Uruguay to be locus of submarine landsliding. Individual landslides are relatively small with volumes 〈2km3. Gravitational downslope sediment transport also occurs through the prominent Mar del Plata Canyon and several smaller canyons. The canyons originate at a midslope position, and the absence of buried upslope continuations strongly suggests upslope erosion as main process for canyon evolution. Many other morphological features (e.g., slope-parallel scarps with scour geometries) and abundant contourites in a 35-m-long MeBo core reveal that sediment transport and erosion are controlled predominantly by strong contour currents. Despite numerous landslide events, their geohazard potential is considered to be relatively small, because of their small volumes and their occurrence at relatively deep water depths of more than 1,500 m.
