Turbidite correlation for paleoseismology
Marine turbidite paleoseismology relies on the assumption of synchronous triggering of turbidity currents by earthquake shaking to infer rupture extent and recurrence. Such inference commonly depends …

Fluvial-style migration controls autogenic aggradation in submarine channels: Joshua Channel, eastern Gulf of Mexico
There has been debate over the processes acting on deep-water channels, with comparisons made to the evolution of meandering fluvial systems. We characterized a three-dimensional seismic-reflection da…
Stratigraphy in space and time: A reproducible approach to analysis and visualization
Time-elevation plots and chronostratigraphic diagrams are valuable for understanding and analyzing stratigraphy when time-elevation data, or some approximation of them, are available, for example in f…
Channel trajectories control deep-water stratigraphic architecture
Interpretation of deep-water channel deposits is challenging because the spatial arrangement of their constituent lithologies is highly variable. This variability is often thought to be a signature of…
Submarine channels ‘swept’ downstream after bend cutoff in salt basins
Channel‐bend expansion and downstream translation, as well as vertical movements by aggradation and incision, set the stratigraphic architecture of channelized depositional systems. Early work on subm…
Slope-fan depositional architecture from high-resolution forward stratigraphic models
Submarine fans in tectonically active continental-slope basins are targets of petroleum exploration and pro- duction. These slope fans commonly comprise compensationally stacked sandy and muddy archit…
