Scientific interests
Sedimentary shelf systems
Why to study shelf systems?
Although continental shelves comprise a rather small part of the Earth’s ocean surface (<8%) they represent the most important marine sink for terrigenous material. Only 7–10% of the fluvial input is proposed to reach the deep sea. Besides this importance as sediment storage environment, the ecological and economical relevance of shelf systems are undisputable. These systems feature highest primary production, especially in areas of enhanced upwelling and represent, consequently, an important habitat of the biosphere. Additionally, the economical value of shelves is exploited by, for instance, fishery industry and explorations of hydrocarbon and mineral resources. Nevertheless, the scientific knowledge on shelf systems is still very limited.
In the past decades, shelf systems became of increasing interest for the scientific community due to their role as important part of the sediment pathway from the coast to the deep sea, which, for example, provided the chance to calculate sediment budgets. The modern processes controlling the surface sediment distribution on shelves are partly well investigated. Nevertheless, comprehensive sedimentary studies concerning (1) the evolution of sediment partitioning as well as (2) the spatial and temporal transformation of shelf systems are still a rare case. There are two main reasons for these gaps of knowledge. First, a sufficient quantity of sediment cores is necessary to conduct comprehensive sedimentary studies. Second, the challenging coring process requires specialised equipment due to the abundance of sand and gravel deposits.
