Submarine fans: A critical retrospective (1950–2015)

Journal of Palaeogeography, 2016
When we look back the contributions on submarine fans during the past 65 years (1950–2015), the empirical data on 21 modern submarine fans and 10 ancient deep-water systems, published by the results of the First COMFAN (Committee on FANs) Meeting (Bouma ...

Research on the architecture of submarine-fan lobes in the Niger Delta Basin, offshore West Africa

Journal of Palaeogeography, 2016
As one of the most important reservoirs in submarine fan, submarine lobes are hot fields for the deep-water oil–gas exploration in the world. Although a large amount of researches have been carried out on the architecture model of submarine lobes ...

Evolution of submarine canyons and hanging-wall fans: insights from geomorphic experiments and morphodynamic models [PDF]

Earth Surface Dynamics
Tectonics play a significant role in shaping the morphology of submarine canyons, which form essential links in source-to-sink (S2S) systems. It is difficult, however, to investigate the resulting morphodynamics over the long term.

Submarine and Subaerial Morphological Changes Associated with the 2014 Eruption at Stromboli Island

Remote Sensing, 2021
Stromboli is an active insular volcano located in the Southern Tyrrhenian Sea and its recent volcanic activity is mostly confined within the Sciara del Fuoco (SdF, hereafter), a 2-km wide subaerial–submarine collapse scar, which morphologically dominates
