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 …

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 …

Submarine sediment density flows are one of the most important processes for moving
sediment across our planet, yet they are extremely difficult to monitor directly. The speed of …

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 …

Seabed-hugging flows called turbidity currents are the volumetrically most important process
transporting sediment across our planet and form its largest sediment accumulations. We …

Turbidity currents, and other types of underwater sediment density flow, are arguably the
most important flow process for moving sediment across our planet. Direct monitoring …

Subaqueous sediment density flows are one of the volumetrically most important processes
for moving sediment across our planet, and form the largest sediment accumulations on …

Submarine canyons are morphological incisions into continental margins that act as major
conduits of sediment from shallow-to deep-sea regions. However, the exact mechanisms …

The original discovery of active submarine landslides and turbidity currents in the deep
ocean was made in the 1950s through analysis of breaks in transoceanic communications …

Growing evidence suggests that land generated sediment gravity flows are the most
important source of clastic sediments into marine and lacustrine sedimentary basins. These …
