Clinoforms are ubiquitous depositional surfaces in sedimentary systems. The quintessential
shape, with a flat or gentle topset, sloping foreset, and gentle to flat bottomset, is …

In capturing a snapshot of 150 years (1872–2022) of research on deep–water processes,
deposits, settings, triggers, and deformation, the following 22 topics are selected:(1) HMS …

Unravelling past, large-scale ocean circulation patterns is crucial for deciphering the long-
term global paleoclimate. Here we apply numerical modelling to reconstruct the detailed …

Global sedimentary hiatuses are well-documented in ancient pelagic sediment, and include
Paleocene, Eocene-Oligocene boundary, and Miocene hiatuses. Less clear is the extent of …

Significant gas discoveries have been made in the southern offshore basin of Tanzania
continental margin while no gas accumulation has been found in the northern part of the …

Submarine canyons are important conduits transferring large volumes of sediment, nutrients,
and pollutants from the continental shelf to deep-water basins. However, the mechanisms …

Bottom current deposits (contourites) form in association with modern-day or ancient
oceanic gateways. A paucity of examples in the ancient record and the lack of consensus on …

Deep-sea transport of sediment and associated matter, such as organic carbon, nutrients
and pollutants, is controlled by near-bed currents. On the continental slope, these currents …

We present a systematic study of the petrological, mineralogical, sedimentological, and
elemental geochemical characteristics of Cambrian Stage 3 red beds in the Hannan …

Currently, the differences in gravity flow deposits within different systems tracts in continental
lacustrine basins are not clear. Taking the middle submember of the third member of …
