Depositional Model for Turbidite Lobes in Complex Slope Settings Along Transform Margins: The Motta San Giovanni Formation (Miocene—Calabria, Italy)

open access: yesFrontiers in Earth Science, 2021
Intraslope lobes, or perched lobes, are attracting scientific interest because they represent a key archive between the shelf and the deep basin plain when looking at a complete source-to-sink depositional system across a continental margin and can form ...

Variations in downslope activity and bottom current dynamics in a land‐detached submarine channel system since the Last Glacial Maximum

open access: yesSedimentology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The Gollum Channel System is a land‐detached large‐scale canyon‐channel system situated offshore southwest Ireland on the Northeast Atlantic margin. The system has been considered inactive with downslope gravity flows since the last glacial period, but geophysical data in some of its branches do suggest Holocene activity.

Repeated occurrence of surface-sediment remobilization along the landward slope of the Japan Trench by great earthquakes

open access: yesEarth, Planets and Space, 2020
Deep-sea turbidites have been utilized to understand the history of past large earthquakes. Surface-sediment remobilization is considered to be a mechanism for the initiation of earthquake-induced turbidity currents, based on the studies on the event ...

New Insights into the Emplacement Dynamics of Volcanic Island Landslides [PDF]

open access: yesOceanography, 2014
Volcanic islands form the highest topographic structures on Earth and are the sites of some of the planet's largest landslides. These landslides can rapidly mobilize hundreds of cubic kilometers of rock and sediment, and potentially generate destructive ...

Turbidites as indicators of paleotopography, Upper Miocene Lake Pannon, Western Mecsek Mountains (Hungary)

open access: yesGeologica Carpathica, 2015
The floor of Lake Pannon covering the Pannonian Basin in the Late Miocene had considerable relief, including both deep sub-basins, like the Drava Basin, and basement highs, like the Mecsek Mts, in close proximity.

Depositional architecture of marginal multiple-source ramp of the Magura Basin (Eocene Flysch formation, Outer Western Carpathians)

open access: yesGeologica Carpathica, 2018
The Zembrzyce Beds were studied to interpret the environments and facies in the western part of the Siary Subunit. New sedimentological data were obtained for the reconstruction of the depositional architecture of the Zembrzyce Beds.

Heterogeneous Sediment Input at the Nankai Trough Subduction Zone: Implications for Shallow Slow Earthquake Localization

open access: yesGeochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, 2021
Subducted sediment plays a key role in modulating pore pressure and seismic behavior at subduction zones. We investigated the seismic character of incoming sediments to test how sediment and basement variations relate to the along‐strike changes within ...

Submarine Paleoseismology Along Populated Transform Boundaries: The Enriquillo-Plantain-Garden Fault, Canal du Sud, Haiti, and the North Anatolian Fault, Marmara Sea, Turkey [PDF]

open access: yesOceanography, 2014
Continental transform boundaries cross heavily populated regions and are associated with destructive earthquakes worldwide. The devastating 1999 Turkey earthquakes and the offshore 2010 Haiti earthquake emphasized the urgent need to study the submerged ...

Enhancing event stratigraphic correlations in the ultra‐deep Japan Trench using XRF‐CS cluster‐based chemostratigraphy

open access: yesThe Depositional Record, Volume 12, Issue 1, February 2026.
Cluster‐based chemostratigraphy using XRF‐CS enables high‐resolution correlation of event deposits across contrasting depositional settings in the Japan Trench. This approach reveals previously unrecognised events and compositional heterogeneity, offering new insights into sediment provenance and earthquake‐triggered deposition, with implications for ...

Provenance Reassessment of Eocene Turbidites, New Caledonia: Inferences for Obduction Models

open access: yesGeochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems
Provenance of pre‐obduction Eocene turbidites from New Caledonia is used to better constrain their geodynamic context and inform debate on subduction polarity.
