Experimental and numerical modeling of submarine channel flow and morphodynamics
<p>Submarine channels have been documented as ubiquitous features of continental slopes and fan systems.These channels with intricate meandering patterns and extensive levees are recognized as products of density-driven flows known as turbidity currents. The flow field and the morphodynamics of …

Multi-scale deep-marine stratigraphic expressions in the Cretaceous Magallanes Basin, Chile: Implications for depositional architecture and basin evolution
Submarine channel-levee systems represent one of the most significant features of sediment transfer on Earth and one of the final segments in source-to-sink routing systems. As such, they serve as conduits as well as intermediate or final storage for large volumes of sediment, paleoenvironmental …

Quantifying turbidity current interactions with topography
… with seafloor topography, specifically channelized surfaces. Turbidity currents are responsible for crafting the morphology of continental margins. Unfortunately, very few direct observations exists defining turbidity current interactions with submarine channels and canyons because …

Bedforms and Gravity Underflows in Marine Environments
… covering extensive areas in continental rises or submarine-channel levees, and (2) systems of subparallel, longitudinal gullies that are commonly observed in continental slopes. Combined analytical and experimental evidence supporting the argument that supercritical density and turbidity currents …

Seismic stratigraphy and tectonic evolution of a transform continental margin, offshore Sierra Leone
… and the development of extensive lowstand submarine fan systems. Some models of slope failure and synchronous development of submarine channel and canyon systems have been developed for this basin. Extensional slope failure is controlled by pre-existing structural trends. Submarine canyons …

Stratigraphic evolution and architectural analysis of structurally confined submarine fans: a tripartite outcrop-based study
… different structurally confined, distributive submarine fans: the Eocene Guaso I turbidite system, Ainsa basin, Spain, and the Miocene upper Modelo Formation, eastern Ventura basin, California. In Chapter 2, geologic mapping, paleocurrent measurements, architectural analysis, and correlation of …
