Cyclic steps and related supercritical bedforms: building blocks of deep-water depositional systems, western North America
Cyclic steps are long-wave (the ratio of wavelength to height is≫ 1), upstream-migrating,
upper-flow-regime bedforms bounded by internal hydraulic jumps (ie, transition from …

Geomorphology of the oceans
We present the first digital seafloor geomorphic features map (GSFM) of the global ocean.
The GSFM includes 131,192 separate polygons in 29 geomorphic feature categories, used …

Relationships between morphological and sedimentological parameters in source‐to‐sink systems: A basis for predicting semi‐quantitative characteristics in …
The study of source‐to‐sink systems relates long‐term variations in sediment flux to
morphogenic evolution of erosional–depositional systems. These variations are caused by …

A model of submarine channel-levee evolution based on channel trajectories: Implications for stratigraphic architecture
Channel-levee systems are frequently interpreted as having a long history of cut-and-fill by
channel-shaped features of different scales. Results from a simple geometric model based …

Two fundamentally different types of submarine canyons along the continental margin of Equatorial Guinea
ZR Jobe, DR Lowe, SJ Uchytil - Marine and Petroleum Geology, 2011 - Elsevier
Most submarine canyons are erosive conduits cut deeply into the world's continental shelves
through which sediment is transported from areas of high coastal sediment supply onto large …

Deep-water depositional systems supplied by shelf-incising submarine canyons: Recognition and significance in the geologic record
It is well established that sedimentary margins grow by sediments bypassing through shelf-
and slope-incising canyons onto the basin floor and by sediments being deposited …
