Bed-parallel slip: Identifying missing displacement in mass transport deposits [PDF]

Journal of Structural Geology, 2020
Abstract Bed-parallel slip (BPS), where neighbouring beds slide past one another along bedding planes, is notoriously difficult to identify without reference to pre-existing features such as steep faults or dykes that act as markers to record BPS offset.

Towards a sequence stratigraphic solution set for autogenic processes and allogenic controls: Upper Cretaceous strata, Book Cliffs, Utah, USA [PDF]

, 2016
Upper Cretaceous strata exposed in the Book Cliffs of east–central Utah are widely used as an archetype for the sequence stratigraphy of marginal-marine and shallow-marine deposits.

Pleistocene Mass Transport Deposits Off Barbados Accretionary Prism (Lesser Antilles) [PDF]

, 2016
Two Pleistocene mass transport deposits (MTDs), with volumes of thousands of km3, have been identified from multi-channel seismic data in the abyssal plain at the front of the Barbados accretionary prism. Estimated sediment volumes for these MTDs are likely underestimated due to limited seismic coverage.

Giant slope scars and mass transport deposits across the Rhodes Basin, eastern Mediterranean: Depositional and tectonic processes [PDF]

Sedimentary Geology, 2021
Abstract High-resolution multichannel seismic reflection profiles and multibeam mosaic maps of the seafloor are used to document the presence of two prominent regions representing major sediment failure(s) and the subsequent gravity-driven mass transport across the southwestern continental margin of Anatolia.

A complete and continuous core record of deep-water mass transport deposits

Frontiers in Marine Science
Mass transport deposits are a fundamental component of deep-water sedimentary systems and play a crucial role in the transportation of sediments from continental slopes to deep-sea basins.

Behaviour pattern of rock mass haulage energy intensity in deep pits

Горные науки и технологии, 2023
A significant portion of mineral deposits developed by open-pit mining is opened to the full depth by road transport ramps without the use of combined transport.

A Geophysical-Geochemical Approach to the Study of the Paleogene Julian—Slovenian Basin “Megabeds” (Southern Alps—Northwestern Dinarides, Italy/Slovenia)

Geosciences, 2019
The Paleogene “megabeds„ of the Julian-Slovenian Basin are regional, basin-wide deposits, produced by catastrophic carbonate platform collapses.

The foreland state at the onset of the flexurally induced transgression: data from provenance analysis at the peripheral Carpathian Foredeep (Czech Republic)

Geologica Carpathica, 2019
The Žerotice Formation recognised in a confined area NE–SE of Znojmo represents a basal member of the sedimentary succession of the southwestern margin of the Carpathian Foredeep in Moravia (Czech Republic). Two facies associations were recognised within

Spatiotemporal evolution, mineralogical composition, and transport mechanisms of long-runout landslides in Valles Marineris, Mars [PDF]

, 2020
Long-runout landslides with transport distances of >50 km are ubiquitous in Valles Marineris (VM), yet the transport mechanisms remain poorly understood.

Study on the Mechanism of Natural Gas Hydrate Decomposition and Seabed Seepage Triggered by Mass Transport Deposits

Journal of Marine Science and Engineering
Previous studies indicate that mass transport deposits are related to the dynamic accumulation of natural gas hydrates and gas leakage. This research aims to elucidate the causal mechanism of seabed seepage in the western region of the southeastern ...
