Abstract in English
This product offers a global overview of contourite distribution. Contourites are sedimentary units which are deposited or substantially reworked by alongslope bottom currents. They refer to the lithological unit and the terminology reflects the grain size of the sediment. Drifts refer to the same sedimentary unit as a contourite, but the word 'drift' reflects the morphological appearance of the sedimentary unit. The product was elaborated digitizing the information from several hundred published scientific papers.
