The growth of quantitative analysis and prediction in Earth-surface science has been
accompanied by growth in experimental stratigraphy and geomorphology. Experimenters …

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 …

Seafloor bathymetric data acquired with modern swath echo sounders provide coverage for
only a small fraction of the global seabed yet are of high value for studies of the dynamic …

Analyses of 3-D seismic data in predominantly basin-floor settings offshore Indonesia,
Nigeria, and the Gulf of Mexico, reveal the extensive presence of gravity-flow depositional …

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 …

Alluvial deposits of the Guadalope-Matarranya system (Oligocene, Ebro basin, Spain) and
the Wasatch Formation (Eocene, western Colorado), provide time-integrated records of the …

The Lower Miocene Green Channel Complex from the Dalia M9 Upper Field, Block 17,
offshore Angola is an excellent example of a deepwater sinuous channel. This sinuous …

The Zaire deep-sea fan is one of the largest fans in the world still affected by turbidite
sedimentation along a unique active meandering turbidite channel. This active channel is …

Although analogies have been drawn between some types of meandering rivers and
medium-to high-sinuosity, aggradational, leveed submarine channels, a number of different …

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 …
