The Cretaceous-Paleogene boundary~ 65.5 million years ago marks one of the three largest
mass extinctions in the past 500 million years. The extinction event coincided with a large …

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 …

The temporal link between large igneous province (LIP) eruptions and at least half of the
major extinctions of the Phanerozoic implies that large scale volcanism is the main driver of …

This article presents a current (as of September 2019) list of recommended ages for proven
terrestrial impact structures (n= 200) and deposits (n= 46) sourced from the primary …

The Cretaceous-Paleogene (K-Pg) mass extinction is marked globally by elevated
concentrations of iridium, emplaced by a hypervelocity impact event 66 million years ago …

The mass extinction at the Cretaceous–Paleogene boundary,∼ 66 Ma, is thought to be
caused by the impact of an asteroid at Chicxulub, present-day Mexico. Although the precise …

A review is presented here of tsunami deposits in the geological record. It begins with a
discussion of the relationships between the processes of tsunami generation and …

The synonymous use of the general term “landslide”, with a built-in reference to a sliding
motion, for all varieties of mass-transport deposits (MTD), which include slides, slumps …

Soft-sediment deformation structures (SSDS) have been the focus of attention for over 150
years. Existing unconstrained definitions allow one to classify a wide range of features under …

During a period of 82 years (1931–2013), 39 genetic terms were introduced for various
deposits. Of the 39 terms, only ten are meaningful in understanding the true depositional …
