Environmental signal propagation in sedimentary systems across timescales

BW Romans, S Castelltort, JA Covault, A Fildani… - Earth-Science …, 2016 - Elsevier

sediment to depositional systems that can be preserved over a range of timescales. The …

Turbidity currents and their deposits

E Meiburg, B Kneller - Annual review of fluid mechanics, 2010 - annualreviews.org
The article surveys the current state of our understanding of turbidity currents, with an
emphasis on their fluid mechanics. It highlights the significant role these currents play within …

Mudstone diversity: Origin and implications for source, seal, and reservoir properties in petroleum systems

AC Aplin, JHS Macquaker - AAPG bulletin, 2011 - archives.datapages.com

T Mulder, JPM Syvitski, S Migeon, JC Faugères… - Marine and Petroleum …, 2003 - Elsevier
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 …

On the triggers, resulting flow types and frequencies of subaqueous sediment density flows in different settings

PJ Talling - Marine Geology, 2014 - Elsevier
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 …

Trajectory analysis: concepts and applications

W Helland‐Hansen, GJ Hampson - Basin Research, 2009 - Wiley Online Library
Shoreline and shelf‐edge trajectories describe the migration through time of sedimentary
systems, using geomorphological breaks‐in‐slope that are associated with key changes in …

Transport and transformation of dissolved and particulate materials on continental margins influenced by major rivers: benthic boundary layer and seabed processes

BA McKee, RC Aller, MA Allison, TS Bianchi… - Continental Shelf …, 2004 - Elsevier
Within the benthic boundary layer (BBL) and seabed of river-dominated ocean margins
(RiOMars), the timing, kinetics and extent of important biogeochemical processes are greatly …

Processes that initiate turbidity currents and their influence on turbidites: a marine geology perspective

DJW Piper, WR Normark - Journal of Sedimentary …, 2009 - pubs.geoscienceworld.org

PJ Talling, CK Paull, DJW Piper - Earth-Science Reviews, 2013 - Elsevier
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 …

Depositional processes, bedform development and hybrid bed formation in rapidly decelerated cohesive (mud–sand) sediment flows

JH Baas, JL Best, J Peakall - Sedimentology, 2011 - Wiley Online Library
Flows with high suspended sediment concentrations are common in many sedimentary
environments, and their flow properties may show a transitional behaviour between fully …
