A succession of Lower Pliocene turbidites is well exposed in Cliff sections along the west and north coast of the lonian island of Corfu, Greece. The sediments represent the distal portion of a turbidite system that developed in an elongate thrust-sheet-top basin parallel to the NNW-SSE-trending Hellenide thrust front.

Sandy submarine canyon-mouth lobes on the western margin of Corsica and Sardinia, Mediterranean Sea
Marine Geology, 2002Long-range, low-resolution and deep-towed, high-resolution side-scan sonar records, high-resolution seismic profiles and core samples were used to study the relatively small canyon fed turbidite systems west of Corsica and Sardinia. The margin west of Corsica is dissected by deep (up to 1500 m), straight canyons that have steep axial gradients (10 ...

Journal of Sedimentary Research, 2017
Abstract: This study investigates the connection between hydraulic and sediment transport processes and channel and lobe geometry in supercritical submarine fans. The geometry of lobate deposits is typically explored as an interrelationship between different geometric measures, e.g., length versus width or thickness versus area, or based on ...

Precession‐punctuated growth of a late Miocene submarine‐fan lobe on Gavdos (Greece)
Terra Nova, 1993Sedimentary cycles in an upper Miocene succession of hemipelagic sediments (marls) and laminites (sapropels) were deposited in an outerarc basin and are related to the astronomical cycles of precession and eccentricity. Individual marl‐laminite couplets correspond with the cycle of precession which has a periodicity of about 22 kyr.

The growth-pattern concept for modern submarine fans has been reviewed and broadened by additional data published or obtained in the last five years. The similarities in morphology, structure, and surficial-sedimentation patterns among modern fans from different geographic and geologic settings support a general growth-pattern model that can be applied

Abstract The characterization and predictability of submarine channel-lobe systems on topographically complex slopes have proven challenging, due to the complex responses of such systems to interacting flows and seafloor topography, in terms of their temporal evolution and spatial changes in morphology and architecture.

ABSTRACTThe deep‐tow instrument package of Scripps Institution of Oceanography provides a unique opportunity to delineate small‐scale features of a size comparable to those features usually described from ancient deep‐sea fan deposits. On Navy Fan, the deep‐tow side‐scanning sonar readily detected steep channel walls and steps and terraces within ...
