Thèse de doctorat : Université de Fribourg, 2010 ; no 1686.

Cold-water coral reef ecosystems occur worldwide and are especially developed along the European margin, from northern Norway to the Gulf of Cadiz and into the Western Mediterranean Sea. The dominant reef builder in these areas is the scleractinian coral Lophelia pertusa, often associated with the scleractinian coral Madrepora oculata. These species settle on suitable hard substrates, in...

Benthic foraminifer assemblages from norwegian cold-Water coral reefs

Spezzaferri, Silvia ; Rüggeberg, Andres ; Stalder, Claudio ; Margreth, Stephan

In: Journal of Foraminiferal Research, 2013, vol. 43, no. 1, p. 21-39

Quantitative investigations on the total (living + dead) benthic foraminiferal assemblages were performed on 32 surface-sediment samples (0–2 cm, .63-mm size fraction) from water depths ranging from 110–600 m (‘‘on-reef’’) to .2000 m (‘‘off-reef’’) in the Oslo Fjord (Skagerrak Basin), the mid-Norwegian slope (Sula, Røst, and Trænadjupet reefs), and the northern coral-reef...

Paleoenvironmental reconstruction of Challenger Mound initiation in the Porcupine Seabight, NE Atlantic

Raddatz, Jacek ; Rüggeberg, Andres ; Margreth, Stephan ; Dullo, Wolf-Christian ; IODP Expedition 307 Scientific Party

In: Marine Geology, 2011, vol. 282, no. 1-2, p. 79-90

The understanding of the paleoenvironment during initiation and early development of deep cold-water coral carbonate mounds in the NE Atlantic is currently a focus of international research. The Integrated Ocean Drilling Program (IODP) Expedition 307 drilled the 155 m high Challenger Mound in the Porcupine Seabight (SW off Ireland) in order to investigate for the first time sediments from the...
