Rapidly-migrating and internally-generated knickpoints can control submarine channel evolution [PDF]

Nature Communications, 2020
The authors analyse 9 years of time-lapse surveys in Bute Inlet, British Columbia (CA), to show how an active submarine channel evolves. They show how channel evolution is controlled by fast upstream-migration of steep knickpoints, which are similar to ...

Submarine Channel Mouth Settings: Processes, Geomorphology, and Deposits [PDF]

Frontiers in Earth Science, 2022
Observations from the modern seafloor that suggest turbidity currents tend to erode as they lose channel-levee confinement, rather than decelerating and depositing their sediment load, has driven investigations into sediment gravity flow behaviour at the

Exploring the submarine Graham Bank in the Sicily Channel

Annals of Geophysics, 2016
In the Sicily Channel, volcanic activity has been concentrated mainly on the Pantelleria and Linosa islands, while minor submarine volcanism took place in the Adventure, Graham and Nameless banks.

Creep characteristics of muddy submarine channel slope instability

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022
Creep is an important factor of muddy submarine channel slope instability. In this study, a sub-bottom profiler was used to monitor the continuous internal change of a muddy submarine channel slope in the laboratory to better understand the creep ...

Shallow mud detection algorithm for submarine channels based on improved YOLOv5s [PDF]

Heliyon
Submarine mud poses a risk to channel navigation safety. Traditional detection methods lack efficiency and accuracy. As a result, this paper proposed an enhanced shallow submarine mud detection algorithm, leveraging an improved YOLOv5s model to increase ...

Quantitative Seismic Geomorphology of Four Different Types of the Continental Slope Channel Complexes in the Canterbury Basin, New Zealand

Applied Sciences, 2022
Modern marine seismic reflection data have allowed for the study of the morphology of submarine channels in a 3D perspective. This study presents a quantitative analysis of continental slope channel complexes morphology within the Canterbury Basin (New ...

Comparing Aggradation, Superelevation, and Avulsion Frequency of Submarine and Fluvial Channels

Frontiers in Earth Science, 2020
Constraining the avulsion dynamics of rivers and submarine channels is essential for predicting the distribution of sediment, organic matter, and pollutants in alluvial, deltaic, and submarine settings.
