The global sediment cycle is a fundamental feature of the Earth system, balancing
competing factors such as orogeny, physical–chemical erosion and human action. In this …

A review of 80 papers on microplastic (MP) particles in marine sediments was conducted for
different sedimentary environments. The papers were assessed for data on average MP …

Submarine turbidity currents form the largest sediment accumulations on Earth, raising the
question of their role in global carbon cycles. It was previously inferred that terrestrial …

Flocculation is a key process for controlling the fate and transport of suspended particulate
matter (SPM) in water environments and has received considerable attention in the field of …

Mangroves occur on upper intertidal shorelines in the tropics and subtropics. Complex
hydrodynamic and salinity conditions, related primarily to elevation and hydroperiod …

The aim of this study is to assess the global occurrence of large submarine canyons to
provide context and guidance for discussions regarding canyon occurrence, distribution …

Ancient fluvial valley systems are long recognized as important features in the stratigraphic
record, but emerged as a specific focus of attention with publication of first-generation …

To improve our understanding and management of marine plastic pollution of the ocean, a
total plastic budget is needed which quantifies the sources and sinks, as well as inputs and …

Rivers are an important source of mercury (Hg) to marine ecosystems. Based on an analysis
of compiled observations, we estimate global present-day Hg discharges from rivers to …

The present knowledge of Holocene continental shelf deposits in relation to the processes
for their formation, from the prospective of marine sediment dynamics, is examined. Over the …
