Re-channelization of turbidity currents in South China Sea abyssal plain due to seamounts and ridges

S Yin, EL Pope, L Lin, W Ding, J Gao, Z Wu, C Yang… - Marine Geology, 2021 - Elsevier
Turbidity currents can be characterized as net-erosive, net-depositional or net-bypassing.
Whether a flow is erosive, depositional or bypasses depends on the flow velocity …

An experimental and field-based investigation into decimetre-scale bedforms formed by turbidity currents

IS de Cala - 2021 - etheses.whiterose.ac.uk
Decimetre-scale cross-stratification is relatively rare in turbidites, yet it has been identified in
both ancient and modern systems. However, the type of bedform associated with cross …
