The Gulf of Cadiz records the interplay of a variety of sedimentary processes related to the
circulation of water masses. The most important one is the Mediterranean Outflow Water (MOW) that
exits the Mediterranean Sea, but other water masses also affect the seafloor, with complex variations
along time and space. This work studies the interplay between oceanographic and gravitational
sedimentary processes on the Guadalquivir Ridge, based on bathymetry and high-resolution seismic
profiles. A series of morphological features including flat terraces, circular/elliptical depressions, semicircular
scarps and valley-shaped features are analysed in order to better understand the interaction
between water masses circulation and mass-wasting processes of the Gulf of Cadiz.Versión del edito
