Submarine turbidity currents form the largest sediment accumulations on Earth, raising the
question of their role in global carbon cycles. It was previously inferred that terrestrial …

Waves are fundamentally important to the physical and biological functioning of estuaries.
Understanding and predicting contaminant transport, development of sedimentary …

Ichnology is the study of traces created in the substrate by living organisms. This is the first
book to systematically cover basic concepts and applications in both paleobiology and …

Mudstone is the most abundant sedimentary rock and variously acts as sources, seals, and
shale gas reservoirs in petroleum systems. Many important physicochemical properties of …

Deltas are discrete shoreline protuberances formed where a river enters a standing body of
water and supplies sediments more rapidly than they can be redistributed by basinal …

Despite the historical assumption that the bulk of marine “shelf” mud is deposited by gradual
fallout from suspension in quiet water, recent studies of modern muddy shelves and their …

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 …

This paper presents a three-dimensional model in an Eulerian reference frame for the
evolution of the settling velocity of cohesive sediments in estuarine and coastal …

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 …

The present knowledge of Holocene continental shelf deposits in relation to the processes
for their formation, from the prospective of marine sediment dynamics, is examined. Over the …
