Slope Control on Submarine Channel Widths

Journal of Sedimentary Research, 2008
Abstract Submarine channel systems associated with turbidity currents show characteristic variations in channel width and channel slope with distance from source. The most proximal parts are generally formed from pre-existing canyons but these are followed by channels which show segments with two distinct behaviors: (1) sections where

Controls on sinuosity evolution within submarine channels

Geology, 2008
The planform geometry of submarine channels commonly exhibits a spatio-temporal stability generally not observed in fluvial channels. As such, submarine channels tend to lack the meander loop cutoffs and frequent avulsion history typical of fluvial channels. fluvial sinuosity develops through inner-bend deposition and outer-bend erosion.

Submarine channel curvature and migration distance : a study of Joshua Channel with implications for sinuous submarine channel geomorphology and deepwater reservoir connectivity

2020
The nature of plan-view migration in submarine channels is a subject of debate among researchers, and of significance to oil and gas investment in deepwater prospects. Early work has suggested that common features in fluvial channels such as downstream migration are rare or absent in deepwater reservoirs, and that relationships between geometric ...

Submarine depth control by individual channel design

Proceedings of the 37th IEEE Conference on Decision and Control (Cat. No.98CH36171), 2002
The analysis of submarine control design under the framework of individual channel design (ICD) is presented. The boat considered corresponds to the 80 metres standard British submarine. It is shown that under the ICD framework the multivariable control design of submarines can be solved, in an effective and clear manner, by applying classical ...

Global (latitudinal) variation in submarine channel sinuosity

Geology, 2012
Current classifications of submarine channels and fans link channel sinuosity to gradient, and in turn to sediment caliber, with end members being high-sinuosity, low-gradient, finegrained systems and low-sinuosity, high-gradient, coarse-grained systems.

A Process Model for the Evolution of Submarine Fan Channels

2000
Abstract Medium- to high-sinuosity, aggradational submarine channels have frequently been considered analogous to subaerial channels. However, planform evolution and resulting architecture in these submarine channels are characterized by absence of downstream migration, eventual cessation of movement, and ribbon geometries.

Six-channel multiplex for submarine cable telegraphy

Electrical Engineering, 1958
THE RICHLY CULTIVATED CARIBBEAN area has imposed ever-increasing demands upon communication facilities to North America. To serve this market place and crossroads of transportation, the Western Union Telegraph Company operates three submarine telegraph cables between Havana, Cuba, and Key West, Fla., an average distance of 101 nautical miles ...
