Turbidity Currents: Dynamics, Deposits and Reversals

Beschreibung

The laboratory work to the dynamics of turbidity currents,outlined in this volume, is the first experimentalinvestigation of the nature of downslape gravity-drivencurrents of suspended sediments which are reflected/deflected against obstacles such as seamounts oceanfloorslopes. Scientists and researchers working on theinterpretation and understanding of features occurring insequence stratigraphic sections will find useful clues.

Autor

The author's laboratorial experiments are dealing with an important aspect of sequence stratigraphic interpretations - the physical behaviour of submarine currents bouncing against an obstacle, e.g. a seamount or barrier. In this well illustrated volume scientists and students will find useful clues for their interpretation of sequence stratigraphic sections.
