Interactions between along-slope bottom currents and down-slope turbidity flows can create
a myriad of features and deposits. Despite numerous efforts to differentiate contourites from …

The largest canyons on Earth occur on the seafloor, and seabed sediment flows called
turbidity currents play a key role in carving these submarine canyons. However, the …

Monitoring of modern deep‐water channels has revealed how migrating channel‐floor
features generate and remove stratigraphy, improving understanding of how channel …

We appreciate the comments by G. Shanmugam on the paper “A new classification system
for mixed (turbidite-contourite) depositional systems: Examples, conceptual models and …

There has been debate over the processes acting on deep-water channels, with
comparisons made to the evolution of meandering fluvial systems. We characterized a three …

Sole structures on the base of turbidites, and other bed types, are typically classified into
scour marks and tool marks, such as flutes, grooves, skim marks and prod marks. Yet, there …

This research presents a sedimentological, stratigraphic and paleocurrent analysis of the
Upper Eocene to Lower Oligocene submarine fan deposits that occur in the central part of …

Abstract Interpretation of deep‐water channel deposits is challenging because the spatial
arrangement of their constituent lithologies is highly variable. This variability is often thought …

Understanding variations in the sedimentary processes and resulting stratigraphic
architecture in submarine channel systems is essential for characterizing sediment bypass …

Submarine channels are the primary conduits for land-derived material, including organic
carbon, pollutants, and nutrients, into the deep-sea. The flows (turbidity currents) that …
