A dimensionless framework for predicting submarine fan morphology [PDF]

Nature Communications, 2022
Submarine fans play an important role in routing sediment in continental and deep water settings. Here the authors develop a framework is to explain the shape of submarine fans using a numerical model framework which can either predict seafloor ...

Controls of reservoir quality for submarine fan of F4 Formation in the Z oilfield, Illizi Basin, Algeria [PDF]

Scientific Reports
Subaqueous fan reservoirs have emerged as a pivotal focus in recent deep-water oil and gas exploration. In the Illizi Basin of Algeria, a series of submarine fan reservoirs are developed within the Devonian F4 Formation of the Z oilfield.

Possible Tsunami-Induced Sediment Transport From Coral Reef to Deep Sea Through Submarine Canyons on the Southern Ryukyu Forearc, Japan

Frontiers in Earth Science, 2022
Submarine canyons are efficient sediment transport pathways from shallow marine areas to deep sea. Along active margins, large tsunamis are a trigger for sediment transport to deep sea.

Architectural Diversity of Submarine Lobate Deposits

Frontiers in Earth Science, 2021
Lobate deposits in deep-water settings are diverse in their depositional architecture but this diversity is under-represented in the literature. Diverse architectures result from multiple factors including source material, basin margin physiography ...
