Abstract

In this study we present the main morphological characteristics of the West Melilla and Cabliers CWC Mounds (Eastern Alboran Sea) and include the preliminary results from the analysis of four gravity cores collected in the area during the GATEWAY MD194 Cruise. The West Melilla Mound field is composed of two different clusters which may have different ages. The Cabliers Mound is a 15km long CWC ridge, where large living CWC reefs, almost unique for the Mediterranean Sea, have been observed on its summit through ROV videos, thriving under moderate current regimes and intense sediment transport. High density of CWC frameworks and strong variability of CWC species suggest that the Cabliers Mound corresponds to a peculiar feature compared to the other mounds of this region. The acquired data represent a step forward in understanding the evolution of the Alboran Giant CWC Mounds in their sedimentary environment.
