Latitudinal Changes in the Morphology of Submarine Channels: Reevaluating the Evidence for the Influence of the Coriolis Force

Latitudinal Changes in the Morphology of Submarine Channels: Reevaluating the Evidence for the Influence of the Coriolis Force

Using a script that automatically calculates sinuosity and radius of curvature for multiple bends on sinuous channel centerlines, we have assembled a new data set that allows us to reevaluate the rela…

Rapid Adjustment of Submarine Channel Architecture To Changes In Sediment Supply

Rapid Adjustment of Submarine Channel Architecture To Changes In Sediment Supply

Changes in sediment supply and caliber during the last ∼ 130 ka have resulted in a complex architectural evolution of the Y channel system on the western Niger Delta slope. This evolution consists of …
