Earth-surface processes operate across erosionally dominated landscapes and deliver
sediment to depositional systems that can be preserved over a range of timescales. The …

Deltas are subaerial landforms that cap underlying deposits with subaqueous extensions
that result from a river feeding sediment directly into a standing body of water at a rate that …

Clinoforms are inclined and normally basinward-dip** horizons developed over a range
of spatial and temporal scales in both siliciclastic and carbonatic systems. The study of …

Clinoforms are ubiquitous deltaic, shallow-marine and continental-margin depositional
morphologies, occurring over a range of spatial scales (1–10 4 m in height). Up to four types …

Despite the historical assumption that the bulk of marine “shelf” mud is deposited by gradual
fallout from suspension in quiet water, recent studies of modern muddy shelves and their …

The present knowledge of Holocene continental shelf deposits in relation to the processes
for their formation, from the prospective of marine sediment dynamics, is examined. Over the …

Newly acquired high-resolution Chirp sonar profiles reveal a unique Yellow River-derived,
alongshore distributed, bidirectional (landward and seaward) across-shelf transported …

Delta bathymetry, seismic data and near-surface sediment sampling on modern deltas with
significant wave, tidal or marine current influence betray a double clinoform architecture with …

The 1500km-long coast of South America between the Amazon and the Orinoco river
mouths is the world's muddiest. This is due to the huge suspended-sediment discharge of …

Studies of fine-grained sediment dispersal in the marine environment have documented
diversity in the behavior of depositional systems on continental margins with different …
