Ancient fluvial valley systems are long recognized as important features in the stratigraphic
record, but emerged as a specific focus of attention with publication of first-generation …

The discovery of turbidites represents perhaps the major genuine advance of sedimentology
during the twentieth century. Turbidites are the deposits of turbidity currents and were …

The study of source‐to‐sink systems relates long‐term variations in sediment flux to
morphogenic evolution of erosional–depositional systems. These variations are caused by …

Sinuous deep-water channels display a wide range of geometries and internal architectures.
Most modern examples have been documented from large passive-margin fans, supplied by …

A synthesis of backscatter imagery coupled with a large 3D seismic dataset in the Lower
Congo Basin (LCB) reveals a patchy distribution of features interpreted to be associated with …

Submarine lobe dimensions from six different systems are compared: 1) the exhumed
Permian Fan 3 lobe complex of the Tanqua Karoo, South Africa; 2) the modern Amazon fan …

Sinuous deep-water channels are recognized in most large deep-sea fans in the world.
They present a particular interest to oil companies, since they are significant hydrocarbon …

Deepwater depositional systems are in most cases ultimately fed by rivers that deliver
sediment from the hinterland to the continental margin. Fluvial systems therefore provide the …

The role of internal and external forcing of sedimentation in turbidite systems remains a
subject of debate. Here we propose new insights from the quantitative analysis of …

Africa displays a variety of continental margin structures, tectonic styles and sedimentary
records. The comparative review of two representative segments: the equatorial western …
