DOI: 10.1016/j.sedgeo.2017.01.002
Abstract: Abstract Erosion and deposition by supercritical density flows can strongly impact the facies distribution and architecture of submarine fans. Field examples from coarse-grained channel-levee complexes from the Sandino Forearc Basin (southern Central America) show that… read more here.

DOI: 10.1098/rsos.170212
Abstract: Interpreting how far organisms within fossil assemblages may have been transported and if they all originated from the same location is fundamental to understanding whether they represent true palaeocommunities. In a three-factorial experimental design, we… read more here.

Three‐dimensional submerged wall jets and their transition to density flows: Morphodynamics and implications for the depositional record

DOI: 10.1111/sed.12860
Abstract: Jets that expand from an orifice into an ambient water body represent a basic flow model for depositional environments related to expanding flows. Momentum‐dominated jets evolve into gravity‐dominated density flows. To understand this transition and… read more here.
