Hierarchical classifications are used in the field of clastic deep-marine sedimentary geology
to assign spatial and temporal order to the sedimentary architecture of preserved deep …

The study of many slope channel systems has led to the development of rules in the form of
observations, measurements, and hypotheses. For example, we hypothesize that high …

Submarine gravity flows are a key process for transporting large volumes of sediment from
the continents to the deep sea. The location, volume, and character of the sediment …

Submarine landslides are ubiquitous along Mediterranean continental margins. With the aim
of understanding mass‐wasting processes and related hazard at the scale of a large marine …

Submarine lobe-fringe deposits form heterolithic successions that may include a high
proportion of hybrid beds. The identification of lobe-fringe successions aids interpretation of …

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

Two scales of levee confinement are commonly recognised from submarine channel-levee
systems on the seafloor and in the subsurface. Large-scale external levees bound the entire …

The˜ 4000 m thick and∼ 20 Myr deep-water sedimentary fill of the Upper Cretaceous
Magallanes Basin was deposited in three major phases, each with contrasting stratigraphic …

It is increasingly important to understand and predict how marine environments respond to
changes in climate and sea level and to variability in sediment flux from rivers. The dynamics …

A widely misused criterion to interpret lobe deposits in submarine fan systems at outcrop,
and in core and well logs, is a thickening and/or coarsening upward profile. Lobe deposits …
