The contourite paradigm was conceived a few decades ago, yet there remains a need to
establish a sound connection between contourite deposits, basin evolution and …

When we look back the contributions on submarine fans during the past 65 years (1950–
2015), the empirical data on 21 modern submarine fans and 10 ancient deep-water systems …

This rock-based book is an attempt to link deep-water process sedimentology with
sandstone petroleum reservoirs. In presenting a consistent process interpretation, the author …

Interactions between along-slope bottom currents and down-slope turbidity flows can create
a myriad of features and deposits. Despite numerous efforts to differentiate contourites from …

Oceanic currents can profoundly reshape the seafloor and even modify the characteristics of
turbidite systems. Multiple erosional and depositional features directly formed by bottom …

The concept of turbidite has evolved so much since its original definition by Kuenen and
Migliorini in 1950–ie the deposit of turbidity currents exemplified by the sandy flysch …

This special issue dealing with the recent advances on modern and ancient clinoform‐
stratified sedimentary successions arises from a European Geoscience Union (EGU) …

Bottom currents and their margin-sha** character became a central aspect in the research
field of sediment dynamics and paleoceanography during the last decades due to their …

This handbook is vital for understanding the origin of deep-water sandstones, emphasizing
sandy-mass transport deposits (SMTDs) and bottom-current reworked sands (BCRSs) in …

This contribution to this special volume represents the first attempt to comprehensively
describe regional contourite (along-slope) processes and their sedimentary impacts around …
