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
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…
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…
