Forcing and Dynamics of Seafloor-Water Column Exchange on a Broad Continental Shelf

Relict sediments of elevated permeability characterize the majority of continental shelves globally (Emery, 1968). In these settings, interactions between benthic boundary layer (BBL) flows and seabed topography generate pressure fluctuations that drive advective and dispersive porewater transport,...
