The discovery of turbidites represents perhaps the major genuine advance of sedimentology
during the twentieth century. Turbidites are the deposits of turbidity currents and were …

Abstract The late Paleozoic Ice Age (LPIA) was one of Earth's most important Phanerozoic
climatic events lasting for over 100 Mys. Despite its importance, its history is controversial …

A hyperpycnal flow forms when a relatively dense land-derived gravity flow enters into a
marine or lacustrine water reservoir. As a consequence of its excess of density, the incoming …

Global sea-level fall during the late Eocene-Oligocene icehouse, in conjunction with the
Alpine orogenesis, resulted in the epicontinental Paratethys Sea formed at the northern …

Growing evidence suggests that land generated sediment gravity flows are the most
important source of clastic sediments into marine and lacustrine sedimentary basins. These …

Recent robotic missions to Mars have offered new insights into the extent, diversity and
habitability of the Martian sedimentary rock record. Since the Curiosity rover landed in Gale …

Deep‐water mudstones are often considered as background sediments, deposited by
vertical suspension fallout, and the range of transport and depositional processes are poorly …

The deposition of a classic turbidite by a surge-type turbidity current, as envisaged by
conceptual models, is widely considered a discrete event of continuous sediment …

Subaquatic channels are known as active conduits for the delivery of terrigenous sediments
into related marine and lacustrine basins, as well as important targets for hydrocarbon …
