The contourite paradigm was conceived a few decades ago, yet there remains a need to
establish a sound connection between contourite deposits, basin evolution and …

Two-dimensional, nonlinear and nonhydrostatic field-scale numerical simulations are used
to examine the resuspension, dispersal and transport of mud-like sediment caused by the …

Hyperpycnites record information on sedimentary processes and climate change and play a
significant role in hydrocarbon exploration. However, deep-water hyperpycnites can hardly …

Oligocene carbonate ramps and platforms are widespread and though they are important
carbonate reservoirs, detailed studies on the facies organization, platform type and internal …

The sequence stratigraphy of the Late Jurassic (Oxfordian to Kimmeridgian) of the central
Arabia is based on outcrop measured sections. The sequence stratigraphic framework is …

ABSTRACT The Vaca Muerta–Quintuco system (uppermost lower Tithonian–lower
Valanginian) is a thick shallowing-upward sedimentary cycle consisting of dark bituminous …

Thus far, the subject of deep-marine sands emplaced by baroclinic currents associated with
internal waves and internal tides as potential reservoirs has remained an alien topic in …

Contourites are deposits of thermohaline-driven geostrophic contour currents in deep-water
environments. However, the contourite domain is still in a state of flux after nearly 60 years of …

Bottom current deposits (contourites) form in association with modern-day or ancient
oceanic gateways. A paucity of examples in the ancient record and the lack of consensus on …

The evolution of submarine canyons is primarily controlled by turbidity currents, which erode
and fill them over time; however, many other hydrodynamic currents operate within canyons …
