The lower shoreface provides the connection between the continental shelf and the
shoreline via its onshore transition called the upper shoreface. Lower shorefaces are …

Submarine canyons are major geomorphic features of continental margins around the world.
Several recent multidisciplinary projects focused on the study of canyons have considerably …

Disaster robotics has become a research area in its own right, with several reported cases of
successful robot deployment in actual disaster scenarios. Most of these disaster …

ABSTRACT The Triassic Yanchang Formation contains the main oil-bearing strata in the
Ordos Basin, central China. But the sedimentology of the Upper Triassic is still under debate …

Turbidity currents, and other types of submarine sediment density flow, redistribute more
sediment across the surface of the Earth than any other sediment flow process, yet their …

The synonymous use of the general term “landslide”, with a built-in reference to a sliding
motion, for all varieties of mass-transport deposits (MTD), which include slides, slumps …

Abstract Large-scale (20 m to 7 km wavelength) bedforms are common on the seafloor, yet
there is a lack of consensus on how they form and thus what to call them. We conducted …

This review presents modelling techniques and processes that govern landslide tsunami
generation, with emphasis on tsunamis induced by fully submerged landslides. The analysis …

Until recently, despite being one of the most important sediment transport phenomena on
Earth, few direct measurements of turbidity currents existed. Consequently, their structure …

Rivers (on land) and turbidity currents (in the ocean) are the most important sediment
transport processes on Earth. Yet how rivers generate turbidity currents as they enter the …
