Submarine fans and related turbidite systems comprise deposits of mass movements, including slides, slumps, turbidity currents, and debris flows (Middleton & Hampton 1973) (Figure 6). Slides ...

Submarine fans are accumulations of sediment deposited at the termini of land-to-deep-sea sediment-routing systems (Menard 1955) (Figure 1). At a given moment in time, sediment-routing systems ...

These alluvial, or submarine, fans are found wherever rivers run into the ocean. Crop residues sunk in such fans would become covered with silt, further ensuring that carbon would be locked away ...

These are the longest-runout sediment flows ever recorded. The flows also damaged several submarine cables in January and March 2020, disrupting internet and data communications in West Africa ...
