During the past 15 years in creasing numbers of studies have demonstrated that continuous
echograms recorded on high-frequency (3.5–12 kHz) precision depth recorders aboard …

This paper reviews the state of the art in the concept as well as in the application of sediment
budgets in sedimentary research. Sediments are a product of mass dispersal at the Earth …

Principles of Sequence Stratigraphy, Second Edition presents principles to practical
workflow that guide applications in a consistent manner that is independent of model …

The fish faunas of continental South and Central America constitute one of the greatest
concentrations of aquatic diversity on Earth, consisting of about 10 percent of all living …

Under the prevailing turbidite paradigm, the term turbidite (ie, deposits of turbidity currents
with Newtonian rheology and turbulent state) is used very loosely and is commonly applied …

The Amazon submarine fan is a large sediment apron situated offshore Pará (Brazil) and
represents the most distal extent of the Amazon River. The age of onset of this …

The Zaire deep-sea fan is one of the largest fans in the world still affected by turbidite
sedimentation along a unique active meandering turbidite channel. This active channel is …

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

The growth-pattern concept for modern submarine fans has been reviewed and broadened
by additional data published or obtained in the last five years. The similarities in …

Submarine gravity flows are a key process for transporting large volumes of sediment from
the continents to the deep sea. The location, volume, and character of the sediment …
