There is a growing interest for marine flooding related to recent catastrophic events and their
unintended consequences in terms of casualties and damages, and to the increasing …

Mudstone is the most abundant sedimentary rock and variously acts as sources, seals, and
shale gas reservoirs in petroleum systems. Many important physicochemical properties of …

Data and computer simulations are reviewed to help better define the timing and magnitude
of human influence on sediment flux—the Anthropocene epoch. Impacts on the Earth …

Recent studies of marine shelf sediment dispersal show that wave-enhanced sediment-
gravity flows are widespread phenomena and can transport large volumes of fluid mud …

Determining sediment transport direction in ancient mudrocks is difficult. In order to
determine both process and direction of mud transport, a portion of a well‐mapped …

Rock outcrops of the sedimentary–stratigraphic record often reveal bedding planes that can
be considered to be true substrates: preserved surfaces that demonstrably existed at the …

The well-known 1755 CE Lisbon tsunami caused widespread destruction along the Iberian
and northern Moroccan coastlines. Being affected by the powerful 1755 CE Lisbon tsunami …

The Bohai Sea was formed by subsidence during the Cenozoic. Some 2000–3000m of
fluvial, lacustrine and marine sediments has been deposited in this basin. Previous studies …

Mud depocenters (MDCs) represent major proximal-marine sinks for fine-grained
terrigenous material, carbon, and contaminants on modern continental shelves. Throughout …

Estimating the effects and timing of anthropogenic impacts on the composition of
macrobenthic communities is challenging, because early twentieth-century surveys are …
