Turbidity currents are gravity currents (Simpson 1987; also called density currents by many
authors, following Bell 1942) in which the excess density or unit weight is due to suspended …

Approximate layer-averaged equations describing the mechanics of turbid underflows are
derived. Closure of the equations describing the balance of fluid mass, sediment mass, and …

The transportation mode for large, isolated clasts “floating” in turbidites is a problem that has
been difficult to resolve. New observations from experimental, high-density turbidity currents …

The simple physical models which are popularly used to describe deposition from turbidity
currents are based on the notion of unidirectional waning flow, resulting in the familiar …

Although analogies have been drawn between some types of meandering rivers and
medium-to high-sinuosity, aggradational, leveed submarine channels, a number of different …

The Suwolbong pyroclastic sequence in the western part of Cheju Island, Korea, comprises
partly preserved rim beds of a Quaternary basaltic tuff ring whose vent lies about 1 km …

Basal divisions of turbidite deposits often show characteristics that are interpreted as
expression of high-density layers forming at the bases of turbidity currents; however, this link …

There is a growing need across different disciplines to develop better predictive tools for flow
conditions of density and turbidity currents. Apart from resorting to complex numerical …

Abstract Muir Inlet in Glacier Bay, Alaska, is a glacial fjord receiving a tremendous volume of
sediment annually. The rate of sediment accumulation is greatest proximal to Muir Glacier …
