The eastward-flowing Antarctic Circumpolar Current (ACC) has influenced sedimentation on the slope and floorof the western Falkland Trough, where the axis of the current is topographically constrained. Deep-water flow (below3000 m) has produced a symmetrical sediment drift on the trough floor, with...
