An estimated 8.3 billion tons of non-biodegradable plastic has been produced over the last
65 years. Much of this is not recycled and is disposed into the natural environment, has a …

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 …

A hyperpycnal flow forms when a relatively dense land-derived gravity flow enters into a
marine or lacustrine water reservoir. As a consequence of its excess of density, the incoming …

Source-to-sink geoscientific domain and environmental plastic cycle studies are two major
scientific worlds starting to interact, taking benefit from each other. To advance in our …

Growing evidence suggests that land generated sediment gravity flows are the most
important source of clastic sediments into marine and lacustrine sedimentary basins. These …

Deep‐water mudstones are often considered as background sediments, deposited by
vertical suspension fallout, and the range of transport and depositional processes are poorly …

Burial of terrestrial biospheric particulate organic carbon in marine sediments removes CO 2
from the atmosphere, regulating climate over geologic time scales. Rivers deliver terrestrial …

Flutes and tool marks are commonly observed sedimentary structures on the bases of
sandstones in deep‐water successions. These sole structures are universally used as …

Deltaic depositional systems are characterized by a complex interaction of physical,
chemical, and biological factors. Although fluvial-, wave-and tidal-dominated deltaic …

Submarine channel mouth settings are hardly preserved in the stratigraphic record.
Although they are still poorly known with respect to other segments of turbidite systems …
