Deep Water Sedimentary Processes
Session ID#: 255214
Session Description:
Submarine environments host some of the largest earth surface flows on the planet: seafloor, sediment-laden, density-driven flows, which range from low concentration turbidity currents to ultra-high concentration debris flows. Rapid development in technology now allows these flows to be monitored in unprecedented detail; motivating advanced theoretical, experimental and numerical research. Recent work is addressing long-standing challenges in our understanding of the dynamics of such flows, and their deposits. Such advances are important and timely as deep water systems are increasingly recognized as critical to current and future issues: geohazards to international infrastructure; principal vectors for the distribution of pollutants and nutrients – including the control, as ultimate sinks, of global biogeochemical cycles; and as mechanisms to support seafloor ecosystems. This session further integrate these communities, with contributions that report on recent field and outcrop, laboratory, theoretical and numerical work on sediment-laden submarine flows, from lakes, reservoirs to seas and oceans.
