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 …

The kinematic evolution of the Patagonian fold-and-thrust belt and cogenetic Magallanes
retroarc foreland basin is reconstructed using new geologic map**, two-dimensional (2-D) …

Mass-transport deposits (MTDs) are gravity-induced units that represent an important
component of modern and ancient deep-water stratigraphic successions. MTDs have been …

Submarine lobe dimensions from six different systems are compared: 1) the exhumed
Permian Fan 3 lobe complex of the Tanqua Karoo, South Africa; 2) the modern Amazon fan …

The study combines interpretation of 3D seismic imagery of submarine sinuous channel
belts in offshore West Africa with observations from a range of outcrop analogues. Five main …

Most submarine canyons are erosive conduits cut deeply into the world's continental shelves
through which sediment is transported from areas of high coastal sediment supply onto large …

Climbing‐ripple cross‐lamination is most commonly deposited by turbidity currents when
suspended load fallout and bedload transport occur contemporaneously. The angle of ripple …

Mass-transport events are virtually ubiquitous on the modern continental slope and are also
frequent in the stratigraphic record, but the potential they create for stratigraphic trap** …

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 …

Turbidity currents are powerful flows of sediment that pose a hazard to critical seafloor
infrastructure and transport globally important amounts of sediment to the deep sea. Due to …
