A review of the supercritical state of eruption‐fed volcanic density currents in subaerial and subaqueous settings

open access: yesSedimentology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Subaerial Pyroclastic Density Currents (PDCs) and Subaqueous Eruption‐Fed Density Currents (SEFDCs) produced during volcanic eruptions can present major hazards to surrounding communities and ecosystems. The bedforms deposited by these volcanic density currents can provide insights into the nature of transport and depositional processes, which

Petrologic evidence for earliest Miocene tectonic mobility on eastern Taranaki Basin margin [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
At Gibsons Beach on the west coast of central North Island, the earliest Miocene (Waitakian) Otorohanga Limestone, the top-most formation in the Te Kuiti Group, is unconformably overlain on an undulating, locally channelised erosion surface by the Early ...

Formation process of the gravel‐dominated deposit from the 2011 Tohoku‐oki tsunami in Ofunato, northeastern Japan, inferred by integrating sedimentology and tsunami modelling

open access: yesSedimentology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Tsunami deposits serve as geological records of past events and are essential for understanding the occurrence and dynamics of tsunamis. However, conventional research has largely focused on sandy and boulder deposits, leaving gravel‐dominated tsunami deposits comparatively underexplored; furthermore, their characteristics and formation ...

Sedimentary biogeochemical provinces in the northern limit of the oxygen minimum zone from the northeastern Mexican Pacific

open access: yesSedimentology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Continental margins are reservoirs of materials of terrestrial and marine origin, and they play a crucial role in understanding the spatial and temporal variability of biogeochemical cycles. This, in turn, provides insights into the development and intensity of oxygen minimum zones (OMZs).

Spherulite in the modern aragonitic travertine stromatolite has a calcite core with exopolymers

open access: yesSedimentology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Spherulites are spherical to ellipsoidal particles formed by various crystalline substances and can be abiotically synthesised in the laboratory. Among various spherulite types, spherulites composed of calcium carbonate are also found in various natural environments, but their abiotic or biotic origins are still controversial.

Tracking sea bed topography in the Jurassic. The Lotena Group in the Sierra de la Vaca Muerta (Neuquén Basin, Argentina) [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
The Lotena Group is a clastic to evaporitic unit up to 650 m thick that accumulated during the Middle to Late Jurassic in the Neuquén Basin, western Argentina.

Sediment transport and depositional hydrodynamics on the eastern Korean continental margin revealed by surface sediment granulometry

open access: yesSedimentology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Terrigenous sediments are transported from coastal areas and shelves to deeper continental margins by multiple processes. Understanding these processes is critical for evaluating the ecological impacts of fine‐grained sediment deposition and predicting future changes in sediment dispersal under rapid climate change.
