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 …

There is growing recognition that sedimentary deposits related to high-energy, large-scale,
freshwater floods are widespread across the continents and, in the main, can be related to …

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 rock-based book is an attempt to link deep-water process sedimentology with
sandstone petroleum reservoirs. In presenting a consistent process interpretation, the author …

Hyperpycnal flows originate when sediment-laden fluvial discharges enter standing, lower-
density water. Because of their excess density, the flows plunge near the river mouth and …

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 …

Although delta-building processes and the resultant facies and facies associations have
been studied for over a century, there remains a lack of well-documented facies architectural …

Sea-floor fans containing both carbonate and siliciclastic detritus are rarely recognized in
the rock record but are common within the Permian upper Wolfcamp Formation in the …

Seismic hazard assessment is a critical but challenging issue for modern societies. A key
parameter to be estimated is the recurrence interval of damaging earthquakes. This requires …

Clinoforms are ubiquitous depositional surfaces in sedimentary systems. The quintessential
shape, with a flat or gentle topset, sloping foreset, and gentle to flat bottomset, is …
