Subaqueous sediment density flows: Depositional processes and deposit types

PJ Talling, DG Masson, EJ Sumner… - …, 2012 - Wiley Online Library
Submarine sediment density flows are one of the most important processes for moving
sediment across our planet, yet they are extremely difficult to monitor directly. The speed of long …

Facies architecture of individual basin‐plain turbidites: Comparison with existing models and implications for flow processes

EJ Sumner, PJ Talling, LA Amy, RB Wynn… - …, 2012 - Wiley Online Library
Current understanding of submarine sediment density flows is based heavily on their
deposits, because such flows are notoriously difficult to monitor directly. However, it is rarely …

Submarine channel flow processes and deposits: A process-product perspective

J Peakall, EJ Sumner - Geomorphology, 2015 - Elsevier
Process-product studies have been central to the development of process sedimentology
over the past few decades, with the ability to first measure flows, and then examine the …

Which triggers produce the most erosive, frequent, and longest runout turbidity currents on deltas?

…, JE Hughes Clarke, EJ Sumner… - Geophysical …, 2018 - Wiley Online Library
Subaerial rivers and turbidity currents are the two most voluminous sediment transport
processes on our planet, and it is important to understand how they are linked offshore from river …

Newly recognized turbidity current structure can explain prolonged flushing of submarine canyons

…, MJB Cartigny, PJ Talling, DR Parsons, EJ Sumner… - Science …, 2017 - science.org
Seabed-hugging flows called turbidity currents are the volumetrically most important process
transporting sediment across our planet and form its largest sediment accumulations. We …

Deposits of flows transitional between turbidity current and debris flow

EJ Sumner, PJ Talling, LA Amy - Geology, 2009 - pubs.geoscienceworld.org
The relationship between submarine sediment gravity flows and the character of their
deposits is poorly understood. Annular flume experiments were used to investigate the …

A new model for turbidity current behavior based on integration of flow monitoring and precision coring in a submarine canyon

WO Symons, EJ Sumner, CK Paull… - …, 2017 - pubs.geoscienceworld.org
Submarine turbidity currents create some of the largest sediment accumulations on Earth,
yet there are few direct measurements of these flows. Instead, most of our understanding of …

[HTML][HTML] Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUVs): Their past, present and future contributions to the advancement of marine geoscience

…, KJ Morris, J Peakall, DR Parsons, EJ Sumner… - Marine geology, 2014 - Elsevier
Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUVs) have a wide range of applications in marine
geoscience, and are increasingly being used in the scientific, military, commercial, and policy …

Deposit structure and processes of sand deposition from decelerating sediment suspensions

EJ Sumner, LA Amy, PJ Talling - Journal of …, 2008 - pubs.geoscienceworld.org
Turbidity currents are notoriously difficult to monitor directly, therefore interpretation of their
deposits forms the basis for much of our understanding of these flows. The deceleration rate …

Key future directions for research on turbidity currents and their deposits

…, CJ Stevenson, EJ Sumner… - Journal of …, 2015 - pubs.geoscienceworld.org
Turbidity currents, and other types of submarine sediment density flow, redistribute more
sediment across the surface of the Earth than any other sediment flow process, yet their …
