Cyclic steps: review and aggradation-based classification
Cyclic steps are a type of upper flow-regime bedform consisting of trains of upstream-and
upslope-migrating bed undulations. The overriding flow is characterised by a series of …

Submarine channel mouth settings: processes, geomorphology, and deposits
Observations from the modern seafloor that suggest turbidity currents tend to erode as they
lose channel-levee confinement, rather than decelerating and depositing their sediment …

New flow relaxation mechanism explains scour fields at the end of submarine channels
Particle-laden gravity flows, called turbidity currents, flow through river-like channels across
the ocean floor. These submarine channels funnel sediment, nutrients, pollutants and …

Channel‐lobe transition zone development in tectonically active settings: Implications for hybrid bed development
Channel‐lobe transition zones are dynamic areas located between deepwater channels
and lobes. Presented here is a rare example of an exhumed channel‐lobe transition zone …

The stratigraphic evolution of a submarine channel: linking seafloor dynamics to depositional products
We investigate the relationship between the cross-sectional geomorphic expression of a
submarine channel as observed on the seafloor and the stratigraphic product of long-lived …
