The Argentina Continental Margin (ACM)
Location in the context of the Southern Hemisphere, the southern tip of South America and Antarctica
The ACM as an archive for paleoclimatic and paleoceanographic changes
Local and regional processes: climate, oceanography, sea-level fluctuations, isostasy, tectonism, sediment supply, sedimentary processes
Oceanographic Context: interaction between Antarctic and Equator water-masses
Environments: continental shelf, slope, rise, ocean basin
Sedimentary processes in each of them: along-shore and across-shore processes
Effects of the sea-level fluctuations on the shelf
Effects of the water-masses circulation on the slope and rise
Turbiditic and contouritic processes
Morphosedimentary features in each environment
The significance of the ACM as a potential archive for understanding local and regional processes.
