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 …

Submarine canyons are morphological incisions into continental margins that act as major
conduits of sediment from shallow-to deep-sea regions. However, the exact mechanisms …

The synonymous use of the general term “landslide”, with a built-in reference to a sliding
motion, for all varieties of mass-transport deposits (MTD), which include slides, slumps …

When we look back the contributions on submarine fans during the past 65 years (1950–
2015), the empirical data on 21 modern submarine fans and 10 ancient deep-water systems …

During a period of 82 years (1931–2013), 39 genetic terms were introduced for various
deposits. Of the 39 terms, only ten are meaningful in understanding the true depositional …

Publisher Summary This chapter discusses the gravity processes and deposits on
continental slope, rise, and abyssal plains. The impact on human infrastructure helps in …

A depositional model is proposed for deep-water petroleum reservoir sands (Pliocene) in
the Krishna–Godavari Basin, Bay of Bengal, India. Based on examination of 313 m of …

To investigate the processes by which sediment is transported through a submarine canyon
incised in a continental margin affected by recurrent dense shelf water cascading events …

Our understanding of bottom-currents and associated oceanographic processes (eg,
overflows, barotropic tidal currents) including intermittent processes (eg, vertical eddies …

The Cap de Creus canyon, northwestern Mediterranean Sea, belongs to a complex network
of submarine canyons cutting the western Gulf of Lion continental shelf and opening into the …
