Submarine sediment density flows are one of the most important processes for moving
sediment across our planet, yet they are extremely difficult to monitor directly. The speed of …

This cutting-edge summary combines ideas from several sub-disciplines including geology,
geomorphology, oceanography and geochemistry to provide an integrated view of Earth …

Until recently, despite being one of the most important sediment transport phenomena on
Earth, few direct measurements of turbidity currents existed. Consequently, their structure …

This study reviews the thickness statistics of non-channelized turbidites from four tertiary
basins of Central-Northern Apennines (Italy), where bed geometry and sedimentary …

Abstract The Marnoso Arenacea Formation provides the most extensive correlation of
individual flow deposits (beds) yet documented in an ancient turbidite system. These …

Hydraulic fracturing, a powerful completion technique used to enhance oil or gas production
from impermeable strata, may trigger unintended earthquake activity. The primary basis for …

High‐resolution bathymetry, seismic reflection, and piston core data from a submarine
channel on the western Niger Delta slope demonstrate that thick, coarse‐grained …

Intervals of soft‐sediment deformation features, including vertical fluid escape and load
structures, are common and well‐exposed in Permian lower slope deposits of the Tanqua …

Submarine fans are archives of Earth‐surface processes and change, recording information
about the turbidity currents that construct and sculpt them. The volume and recurrence of …

The most commonly cited control on delivery of sand to deep water is the rate of relative sea-
level fall. The rapid rate of accommodation loss on the shelf causes sedimentation to shift …
