Entangled external and internal controls on submarine fan evolution: an experimental perspective

The Depositional Record, 2020
Submarine fans are formed by sediment‐laden flows shed from continental margins into ocean basins. Their morphology represents the interplay of external controls such as tectonics, climate and sea level with internal processes including channel migration

Flow-Substrate Interactions in Aggrading and Degrading Submarine Channels

Journal of Sedimentary Research, 2018
ABSTRACT Connecting real-time measurements of current–bed interactions to the temporal evolution of submarine channels can be extremely challenging in natural settings. We present a suite of physical experiments that offer insight into the spectrum of interactions between turbidity currents and their channels, from i) detachment ...
