Internal waves occur nearly ubiquitously in lakes and oceans yet their sedimentary records
remain largely unrecognized. Waves propagate at the interface between fluids of different …

Abstract The Transantarctic Mountains (TAM) are one of Earth's great mountain belts and
are a fundamental physiographic feature of Antarctica. They are continental-scale, traverse a …

Now enhanced with colour photographs and illustrations, this thoroughly revised fourth
edition of Sedimentary Structures enhances its status as a major textbook in geology. Since …

The marine fill of ancient foreland basins is primarily recorded by depositional systems
consisting of facies and facies associations deposited by a variety of sediment gravity flows …

Analog laboratory experiments were conducted to investigate subaqueous bed forms
generated under storm-like oscillatory and combined flow. Experiments were carried out in a …

Recent field observations from several shelf environments show that gravity-driven transport
within negatively buoyant layers is an important mode of fine sediment transport across …

Siliciclastic rocks in the Transantarctic Mountains record the tectonic transformation from a
Neoproterozoic rift-margin setting to a passive-margin and ultimately to an active early …

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

Turbidity currents generated nearshore have been suggested to be the source of some
sandy marine event beds, but in most cases the evidence is circumstantial. Such flows must …
