چکیده انگلیسی
We found that the Armorican turbidite system was sediment-starved during highstand conditions (ca. 8-0Â ka) and that glacial conditions favoured sediment delivery to the deep Bay of Biscay. However, contrary to what would be expected from sequence stratigraphic models, the turbidite flux did not reach a maximum during the LGM lowstand (ca. 26-20Â ka) but at the onset of Termination I (between ca. 20 and 17Â ka). This makes the Armorican turbidite system a transgression-dominated one. This sediment pulse can be interpreted as a huge increase in the meltwater discharge of the Fleuve Manche palaeoriver in response to the decay of the British and Fennoscandian ice-sheets. At that time, despite the rising sea-level, a large deltaic system had to have developed on the outer shelf, leading to the delivery of the Fleuve Manche sediment load into the canyon heads. On the other hand, our dataset suggest that the delivery of sediment into canyons was mainly forced by the winnowing and reworking of the sediment stored on the wide, drowned shelf during the last glacial period (between ca. 35 and 20Â ka, and between 17 and 8Â ka). These findings illustrate the competing influences of accommodation and sediment supply on the Armorican margin over the last 35,000Â years, with a shelf acting as a buffer for the sediment supply signal for most of the period, except during the last deglaciation. At that time, the western European sediment-routing system was reactive, the climatic signal rapidly propagated from the southern limb of the European ice-sheet to the Armorican turbidite system. Finally, our study demonstrates that precise reconstruction of turbidite flux in deep-water areas, added to knowledge about the morphology of the margin and the palaeoenvironmental changes (fluvial system, shoreline position, etc.), are crucial for determining the response of turbidite systems to external forcing.
