Our detailed mapping and analysis of shelf-margin evolution in the northeastern Gulf of Mexico during the last half million years are useful as a process analog for older, poorly imaged, and/or locally sampled subsurface intervals there and in other settings with delta-fed submarine channels.
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 …
Submarine channels offshore New Zealand were filled with mass transport deposits and this resulted in a reset of the systematic migration of the channels
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…
This paper analyzes the evolution of giant meandering submarine channels in the Campos Basin, Brazil, and their interaction with salt diapirs.
We investigate the relationship between the cross-sectional geomorphic expression of a submarine channel as observed on the seafloor and the stratigraphic product of long-lived erosion, bypass, and se…
