Sediment deposition along the East Scotia Ridge (ESR) in the Southern Oceanis dominated by biogenic sediment due to its location within the diatom belt and is influenced by the Antarctic Circumpolar Current mainly flowing west to east. Hydrothermal vent systems occur along the ESR, are characterized...
