Submarine channels ‘swept’ downstream after bend cutoff in salt basins
The Depositional Record, 2020 Channel‐bend expansion and downstream translation, as well as vertical movements by aggradation and incision, set the stratigraphic architecture of channelized depositional systems.

Submarine channels formation driven by turbidity currents interacting with an erodible bed. [PDF]
Proc Math Phys Eng Sci, 2022 In this article, we explore the submarine channel formation driven by the interaction of turbidity currents with an erodible bed. The theoretical analysis considers the three-dimensional continuity and momentum equations of the fluid phase, and the ...

Similarities between rivers and submarine channels [PDF]
Eos, Transactions American Geophysical Union, 2013 Scientists have long known that the width and depth of rivers follows a power law relationship with discharge. They have also noticed that submarine channels appear to be similar to terrestrial rivers, but there have not been many systematic comparisons of the relationships between submarine channel morphology and discharge. Konsoer et al. compared the

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-limited ...

Controls on upstream-migrating bed forms in sandy submarine channels
Geology, 2023 Submarine channels parallel river channels in their ability to transport sediment. However in contrast to rivers, sediment transport and bed-form development in submarine channels are less well understood.

Knickpoints and crescentic bedform interactions in submarine channels
Sedimentology, 2021 Submarine channels deliver globally important volumes of sediments, nutrients, contaminants and organic carbon into the deep sea. Knickpoints are significant topographic features found within numerous submarine channels, which most likely play an ...

Incision of Submarine Channels Over Pockmark Trains in the South China Sea
Geophysical Research Letters, 2021 The genesis of submarine channels is often controlled by gravity flows, but channels can also be formed by oceanographic processes. Using multibeam bathymetry and two‐dimensional seismic data from the western South China Sea, this study reveals how ...

Geology, 2021 Submarine channel systems play a crucial role in governing the delivery of sediments and pollutants such as plastics from the shelf edge to deep water. Understanding their distribution in space and time is important for constraining the locus, magnitude,
