Submarine canyon systems focusing sub-surface fluid in the Canterbury Basin, South Island, New Zealand [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2021 This work uses a high-quality 3D seismic volume from offshore Canterbury Basin, New Zealand, to investigate how submarine canyon systems can focus sub-surface fluid.

Frontal and Lateral Submarine Lobe Fringes: Comparing Sedimentary Facies, Architecture and Flow Processes [PDF]
Journal of Sedimentary Research, 2017 Submarine lobe fringe deposits form heterolithic successions that may include a high proportion of hybrid beds. The identification of lobe fringe successions aids interpretation of paleogeographic setting and the degree of basin confinement.

Submarine lobe deposits of the Point Loma Formation, California: Quantifying event‐bed architecture and lateral heterogeneity [PDF]
The Depositional Record, 2021 Over the last several years, numerous outcrop localities have been revisited to add quantitative detail to submarine lobe facies models that previously focussed on facies relationships in a qualitative sense.

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 ...

The influence of basin setting and turbidity current properties on the dimensions of submarine lobe elements [PDF]
Sedimentology, 2020 Abstract Submarine lobes have been identified within various deep‐water settings, including the basin‐floor, the base of slope and the continental slope. Their dimensions and geometries are postulated to be controlled by the topographic configuration of the seabed, sediment supply system and slope gradient.

Sedimentology, Stratigraphic Architecture, and Depositional Context of Submarine Frontal-Lobe Complexes [PDF]
Journal of Sedimentary Research, 2014 Copyright © 2014, SEPM (Society for Sedimentary Geology).Frontal lobes develop during discrete periods of progradation in deep-water systems, and commonly form on the lower slope to base of slope. In reflection seismic datasets, they are identified as high-amplitude reflectors that are cut as the feeder channel lengthens.
