The carbonate factories model, as defined at the beginning of the century, provides a
subdivision of marine carbonate sediment production‐systems based on the style of …

Cyclic steps are a type of upper flow-regime bedform consisting of trains of upstream-and
upslope-migrating bed undulations. The overriding flow is characterised by a series of …

Abstract The Tethys Ocean was compartmentalized into the Mediterranean Sea and Indian
Ocean during the early Miocene, yet the exact nature and timing of this disconnection are …

The International Ocean Discovery Program (IODP) conducted a series of expeditions
between 2013 and 2016 that were designed to address the development of monsoon …

Carbonate environments inhabit the realm of the surface, intermediate and deep currents of
the ocean circulation where they produce and continuously deliver material which is …

This study reviews the morphology, hydrodynamics and sedimentology of 33 modern straits,
including examples from diverse tectonic and climatic settings. Strait morphology ranges …

Recognition of Froude supercritical flow deposits in environments that range from rivers to
the ocean floor has triggered a surge of interest in their flow processes, bedforms and …

Bottom currents play a major role in deep‐sea sedimentation, but their significance in the
burial of organic carbon is poorly quantified at a global scale. Here we show that Holocene …

Abstract The modern East Australian Current (EAC) sweeps across the Marion Plateau,
forming a widespread contourite depositional system. The history of the EAC is recorded in …

Considerable attention has been dedicated to the sedimentological processes associated
with carbonate drift and contourite deposits, but a noticeable gap exists in the understanding …
