The global turbidity current pump and its implications for organic carbon cycling
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 …

Detailed monitoring reveals the nature of submarine turbidity currents
Seafloor sediment flows, called turbidity currents, form the largest sediment accumulations,
deepest canyons and longest channels on Earth. It was once thought that turbidity currents …

Longest sediment flows yet measured show how major rivers connect efficiently to deep sea
Here we show how major rivers can efficiently connect to the deep-sea, by analysing the
longest runout sediment flows (of any type) yet measured in action on Earth. These seafloor …
