Earthquakes drive large-scale submarine canyon development and sediment supply to deep-ocean basins
Although the global flux of sediment and carbon from land to the coastal ocean is well
known, the volume of material that reaches the deep ocean—the ultimate sink—and the …

Shelf-margin deltas: their stratigraphic significance and relation to deepwater sands
Shelf-margin or shelf-edge deltas are a common constituent of Quaternary shelves, where
their genetic link to falling and lowstand sea level has been well established, but they are …
