The discovery of turbidites represents perhaps the major genuine advance of sedimentology
during the twentieth century. Turbidites are the deposits of turbidity currents and were …

Despite the obvious importance of sediment supply to shelf-margin architecture and to the
potential of margins to contain and bypass deep-water sands, the role of supply in shelf …

Depositional systems in deep-water basin margins can be classified on the basis of grain
size and feeder system into 12 classes: mud-rich, mud/sand-rich, sand-rich, and gravel-rich …

The study of source‐to‐sink systems relates long‐term variations in sediment flux to
morphogenic evolution of erosional–depositional systems. These variations are caused by …

The Zaire deep-sea fan is one of the largest fans in the world still affected by turbidite
sedimentation along a unique active meandering turbidite channel. This active channel is …

The present knowledge of Holocene continental shelf deposits in relation to the processes
for their formation, from the prospective of marine sediment dynamics, is examined. Over the …

Quantifying the characteristics of the turbidity currents that are responsible for the erosion,
lateral migration and filling of submarine channels maybe useful for predicting the …

This cutting-edge summary combines ideas from several sub-disciplines including geology,
geomorphology, oceanography and geochemistry to provide an integrated view of Earth …

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 database containing published rates of sediment and pore-water transport and
biogeochemical transformations has been established to derive empirical predictive …
