The literature on the structure and behaviour of gravity currents is reviewed, with emphasis
on some recent studies, and with particular attention to turbidity currents, though reference is …

Process-product studies have been central to the development of process sedimentology
over the past few decades, with the ability to first measure flows, and then examine the …

The complexity of flow and wide variety of depositional processes operating in subaqueous
density flows, combined with post‐depositional consolidation and soft‐sediment …

Ignimbrites are vast, landscape-modifying deposits composed mainly of pumice fragments
and ash. They derive from the most. hazardous types of explosive volcanic eruptions and …

The outer parts of a number of small Late Jurassic sandy deep‐water fans in the northern
North Sea are dominated by the stacked deposits of co‐genetic sandy and muddy gravity …

Although analogies have been drawn between some types of meandering rivers and
medium-to high-sinuosity, aggradational, leveed submarine channels, a number of different …

Gravity currents are of considerable environmental and industrial importance as hazards
and as agents of sediment transport, and the deposits of ancient turbidity currents form some …

The flow of turbidity currents and pyroclastic flows into regions with topography produces
spatial variation in flow. This variation (the flow nonuniformity) affects not only the loci of …

Basal divisions of turbidite deposits often show characteristics that are interpreted as
expression of high-density layers forming at the bases of turbidity currents; however, this link …

Because turbidite beds aggrade progressively beneath a moving current, the vertical grain-
size profile of a bed is generally an indication of the longitudinal velocity structure of the flow …
