Investigations on the Peach 4 Debrite, a Late Pleistocene Mass Movement on the Northwest British Continental Margin [PDF]

, 2010
The Peach 4 debrite is the most recent in a series of large scale Pleistocene MTDs within the Barra fan on the northwest British continental margin. Geophysical data indicate that Peach 4 was formed through a combination of blocky and muddy debris flows

Ocean Bottom Seismometers Provide Direct Measurements of Pulsed‐Structure and Turbulence of Turbidity Currents Overspilling From a Submarine Channel

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 5, 16 March 2026.
Abstract Turbidity currents transport vast amounts of sediment, carbon, and heat along submarine channels, yet their overspill onto channel‐levees and abyssal mixing remain poorly constrained due to lack of direct observations. Ocean‐bottom seismometers (OBS) deployed on the Congo Canyon–Channel levees captured the structure and turbulence of overspill

Exceptional preservation of three-dimensional dunes on an ancient deep-marine seafloor: implications for sedimentary processes and depositional environments

Sedimentologika
Depositional and erosional bedforms can be used to reconstruct sedimentary processes and aid palaeoenvironmental interpretations. Using exhumed deep-marine strata in the Eocene Aínsa Basin, Spain, we document a 3-dimensional package of dunes, a rarely ...

Base metal mineralisation associated with Ordovician shales in south-west Scotland [PDF]

, 1984
Several narrow, lenticular belts of black cherty mudstone and siltstone (the Moffat Shales), alternating with thick greywacke sequences, strike north-east to south-west across Galloway with uniformly steep dip.

Biostratigraphic and magnetostratigraphic synthesis of the Celebes and Sulu Seas, Leg 124 [PDF]

, 1991
During ODP Leg 124, late middle Eocene to Quaternary sediment sequences were recovered from 13 holes drilled at five sites in the Celebes and Sulu basins. Paleomagnetic measurements and biostratigraphic studies using calcareous nannofossils, planktonic

Holocene subaqueous landslide dynamics in the Lake Siljan‐Orsasjön Basin, south‐central Sweden

Earth Surface Processes and Landforms, Volume 51, Issue 3, March 2026.
Subaqueous landslide areas studied by multibeam bathymetry, sub‐bottom profiling and sediment coring reveal complex stratigraphies, suggesting mass movement events starting close to the area's deglaciation and up to very recent times. Abstract The Siljan‐Orsasjön Basin in south‐central Sweden hosts two prominent lakes.

Seismic Stratigraphy of Eocene–Recent Mixed Depositional Systems on the SE New Zealand Continental Margin, Great South Basin

New Zealand Journal of Geology and Geophysics, Volume 69, Issue 1, March 2026.
The continental margin of SE New Zealand is strongly influenced by the Southland Current and associated water masses. This new seismic stratigraphic study of the margin has revealed a range of depositional mounds and erosional channels that document the close interaction of turbidity and bottom currents in shaping the margin from the Mid‐Eocene onward.

Sedimentological characterization of earthquake-generated turbidites in fault-proximal glacial lakes: a case study from Jenny Lake, Teton range, Wyoming

Frontiers in Earth Science
Lakes in seismically active regions preserve valuable sedimentary archives of paleoseismic activity within their catchment and beyond. A series of glacially-excavated lakes positioned directly along the surface trace of the Teton normal fault at the base

Dispersion, Accumulation, and the Ultimate Fate of Microplastics in Deep-Marine Environments: A Review and Future Directions

Frontiers in Earth Science, 2019
An estimated 8.3 billion tons of non-biodegradable plastic has been produced over the last 65 years. Much of this is not recycled and is disposed into the natural environment, has a long environmental residence time and accumulates in sedimentary systems

Process controls on the development of stratigraphic trap potential on the margins of confined turbidite systems and aids to reservoir evaluation [PDF]

, 2001
Stratigraphic trapping at pinch-out margins is a key feature of many turbidite-hosted hydrocarbon reservoirs. In systems confined by lateral or oblique frontal slopes, outcrop studies show that there is a continuum between two geometries of pinch-out ...
