Earth-surface processes operate across erosionally dominated landscapes and deliver
sediment to depositional systems that can be preserved over a range of timescales. The …

Subaqueous sediment density flows are one of the volumetrically most important processes
for moving sediment across our planet, and form the largest sediment accumulations on …

An integrated nomenclature scheme is proposed to capture the inherent heterogeneity of
fine-grained sedimentary rocks at the 102 to 10− 3 mm scale and to assist the evaluation of …

Hyperpycnal flows form in the marine environment when river discharge enters the ocean
with suspended concentrations in excess of 36 kg m− 3 due to buoyancy considerations, or …

Turbidity currents, and other types of underwater sediment density flow, are arguably the
most important flow process for moving sediment across our planet. Direct monitoring …

Observations of cross-shelf sediment transport conducted in the winter of 1997–1998 as part
of the STRATAFORM program reveal that gravitationally forced density flows of fluid mud …

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

Benthic iron fluxes from sites along the Oregon–California continental shelf determined
using in situ benthic chambers, range from less than 10μmolm− 2d− 1 to values in excess …

Fluid mud is a high concentration aqueous suspension of fine-grained sediment in which
settling is substantially hindered. It constitutes a significant management problem in rivers …

In the winter of 1996–1997, three bottom-boundary layer tripods were placed in an
alongshelf array on the northern California continental shelf off Eureka, CA in 60–65-m …
