We present an annual reconstruction of extreme rainfall events interpreted from detrital
layers and turbidites interbedded within a varved sediment record since the 14 th century in …

Carbonates are the main components of Iberian Quaternary lake sediments. In this review
we summarize the main processes controlling carbonate deposition in extant Iberian lakes …

In this paper, we present the current practice of investigations of seafloor instabilities and
deformation processes, based on extensive research conducted over the last years, which …

River deltas and associated turbidity current systems produce some of the largest and most
rapid sediment accumulations on our planet. These systems bury globally significant …

Subaquatic canyons are an important pathway for sediment transport into oceanic and
lacustrine basins. Understanding the mechanisms governing their geomorphological …

Based on field investigations carried out in Lake Geneva during summer stratification in
2019, this study documents, for the first time, the rapid change of negatively buoyant river …

Turbidity currents run out over 100 km in lakes and reservoirs, and over 1,000 km in the
ocean. They do so without dissipating themselves via excess entrainment of ambient water …

Lake sediments are a valuable archive to document past flood occurrence and magnitude,
and their evolution over centuries to millennia. This information has the potential to greatly …

Projet Lac was a large project conducted by Eawag and the University of Bern to
quantitatively survey, for the first time, whole-lake fish communities in the large and deep …

Siltation has significant economic and social impacts as it directly reduces the useable
amount of water in reservoirs. Giving a solution to the issue of sedimentation is a …
