A dimensionless framework for predicting submarine fan morphology [PDF]
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 ...

The ichnologic signature of deep-sea colonization during the Ordovician radiation [PDF]
The fossil record of deep-marine environments is notoriously poor in comparison with that of their shallow-marine counterparts. Notably, deep-marine deposits are typically host to diverse and abundant trace-fossil assemblages, providing evidence of the ...

The development of a late Weichselian - early Holocene subaqueous ice-contact fan, Teikangas, SW Finland [PDF]
The depositional environment of the Teikangas formation in southwestern Finland has been studied. The formation is an isolated, ice marginal accumulation of coarse-grained sediments north of the Hämeenkangas ridge, related to the Weichselian ice sheet ...
