Submarine channel-related thin-bedded turbidites are deposited in environments such as
external levees, internal levees, depositional terraces and at times of channel abandonment …

Sedimentary basins can be classified according to their structural genesis and evolutionary
history and the latter can be linked to petroleum system and play development. We propose …

Several laterally offset and aggradational sinuous submarine channels are contained within
a 54km long segment of the Benin-major Canyon. Axial channel deposits produce high …

Sinuous deep-water channels display a wide range of geometries and internal architectures.
Most modern examples have been documented from large passive-margin fans, supplied by …

A synthesis of backscatter imagery coupled with a large 3D seismic dataset in the Lower
Congo Basin (LCB) reveals a patchy distribution of features interpreted to be associated with …

Channel-levee systems are frequently interpreted as having a long history of cut-and-fill by
channel-shaped features of different scales. Results from a simple geometric model based …

The study combines interpretation of 3D seismic imagery of submarine sinuous channel
belts in offshore West Africa with observations from a range of outcrop analogues. Five main …

Two scales of levee confinement are commonly recognised from submarine channel-levee
systems on the seafloor and in the subsurface. Large-scale external levees bound the entire …

Sinuous deep-water channels are recognized in most large deep-sea fans in the world.
They present a particular interest to oil companies, since they are significant hydrocarbon …

The role of internal and external forcing of sedimentation in turbidite systems remains a
subject of debate. Here we propose new insights from the quantitative analysis of …
