Abstract | Cold-water carbonate mounds and cool-water carbonates are important, yet often underestimated, carbonate factories in mid- to deeper slope environments. Frontier research during the last decades in such systems has led to a better understanding of carbonate systems thriving in colder and mostly deeper realms. For example, sub-recent cold-water carbonate mounds localized on the European continental margins cannot be any longer neglected in the study of carbonate systems (Fig. 1). They clearly play a major role in the dynamics of mixed siliciclastic-carbonate continental slopes. |
