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 …
Submarine Channels
Submarine‐channel meandering reset by landslide filling, Taranaki Basin, New Zealand
Submarine channels offshore New Zealand were filled with mass transport deposits and this resulted in a reset of the systematic migration of the channels
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…
Giant meandering channel evolution, Campos deep-water salt basin, Brazil
This paper analyzes the evolution of giant meandering submarine channels in the Campos Basin, Brazil, and their interaction with salt diapirs.
The stratigraphic evolution of a submarine channel: Linking seafloor dynamics to depositional products
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…
Grain-Size and Discharge Controls on Submarine-Fan Depositional Patterns From Forward Stratigraphic Models
Submarine fans are important components of continental margins; they contain a stratigraphic record of environmental changes and host large accumulations of oil and gas. The grain size and volume of s…
