Sortable silt particle-size data and stable isotope analyses from the Corsica Trough, western
Mediterranean Sea, provide a continuous palaeoceanographic record of the inflow …

The sedimentary construction of oceanic margins is most often carried out by the combined
action of gravitational processes and processes related to bottom (contour) currents. One of …

Nonrenewable energy resources, comprising fossil fuels and uranium, are not ran domly
distributed within the Earth's crust. They formed in response to a complex array of geologic …

Deep-water sediment waves can be classified using a combination of grain size and wave-
forming process, although in some cases one or other of these criteria may be …

Halokinetic sequences are unconformity-bound packages of thinned and folded strata
adjacent to passive diapirs. Hook halokinetic sequences have narrow zones of deformation …

Subaqueous slope and base-of-slope depositional systems are a major component of most
marine and many lacustrine basin fills, and constitute primary targets for hydrocarbon …

An overview of the main items concerning deep bottom-current-controlled deposits is
presented. These include: the definition of contourites, their processes of deposition and …

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 …

Contourites are widespread throughout the deep sea, ranging from those that build up
individually distinct bodies (mounded drifts) to those that occur closely interbedded with …

Publisher Summary Large-scale sediment waves are some of the most distinctive and
frequently described depositional features generated by bottom currents, and cover huge …
