Abstract. Turbidite deposition along slope and trench settings is evaluated for the Cascadia and Sumatra–Andaman subduction zones. Source proximity, basin effects, turbidity current flow path, temporal and spatial earthquake rupture, hydrodynamics, and topography all likely play roles in the deposition of the turbidites as evidenced by the vertical structure of the final deposits. Channel systems tend to promote low-frequency components of the content of the current over longer distances, while more proximal slope basins and base-of-slope apron fan settings result in a turbidite structure that

The Northwest Atlantic Mid-Ocean Channel (NAMOC) is one of the largest deep-sea channels of the world's oceans.

This sediment sequence interfingers laterally with the acoustically transparent pelagic and contourite facies found in the Labrador Basin.

Abstract:
We present a methodology for estimating uncertainties and mapping probabilities of occurrence of different lithofacies and pore fluids from seismic amplitudes, and apply it to a North Sea turbidite system. The methodology combines well log facies analysis, statistical rock physics, and prestack seismic inversion. The probability maps can be used as input data in exploration risk assessment and as constraints in reservoir modeling and performance forecasting. First, we define seismic‐scale sedimentary units which we refer to as seismic lithofacies. These facies represent populations of data (cl

Abstract. The effects of changes in slope gradient on deposition processes and architecture have been investigated in different deep-sea systems both in modern and ancient environments. However, the impact of subtle gradient changes (< 0.3∘) on sedimentary processes along deep-sea fans still needs to be clarified. The Ogooue Fan, located in the northeastern part of the Gulf of Guinea, extends over more than 550 km westwards of the Gabonese shelf and passes through the Cameroon volcanic line. Here, we present the first study of acoustic data (multibeam echosounder and 3.5 kHz, very high-reso

Abstract:
The western ancestral Mississippi shelf-margin delta fed the Bryant Canyon turbidite system in the intraslope basin province of the northwestern Gulf of Mexico (GOM) during the penultimate glacial lowstand of sea level (130–160 year BP). The Bryant Canyon links a chain of 15 fill-and-spill minibasins on the continental slope. On the upper and lower continental slopes, minibasins are narrow (1–3 km), elongate (3–6 km), and follow salt ridges. On the middle slope, minibasins are larger (8–15 km) semicircular basins. Three main depositional facies are recognized based on seismic-facies interpreta

AbstractSubglacial meltwater plays a significant yet poorly understood role in the dynamics of the Antarctic ice sheets. Here we present new swath bathymetry from the western Amundsen Sea Embayment, West Antarctica, showing meltwater channels eroded into acoustic basement. Their morphological characteristics and size are consistent with incision by subglacial meltwater. To understand how and when these channels formed we have investigated the infill of three channels. Diamictons deposited beneath or proximal to an expanded grounded West Antarctic Ice Sheet are present in two of the channels an

Abstract:
Four facies were distinguished within the Ivanić Grad Formation of the Sava Depression: massive marl facies (F1), thick-bedded to massive sandstone facies (F2), thin-bedded sandstone facies (F3) and thin bedded sandstone, siltite and marl facies (F4). Interpretation of the depositional mechanisms confirmed the presence of two basic sedimentary processes. Hemipelagic deposits are represented by fine grained detritus. The lithification of these produced a massive marl(facies - F1). Sand detritus was transported into the depression by turbidite currents (facies - F2- F4), and formed a narrow elon

Abstract This outcrop study describes variously accreted deposits constituting the fill of a sinuous channel from the Tachrift System (upper Miocene of the Taza–Guercif Basin, NE Morocco). Detailed correlation of fifty-nine logs from three outcrops spanning a left-turning bend allow recognition of four stratigraphic units recording channel establishment and levee development, aggradation and bend translation and expansion, and switching of the parent channel. Results show that lateral-accretion packages (LAPs) formed at the inner bank represent the main intra-channel depositional element, co-o

Most static modeling workflows deal with stochastic simulations of the uncertain subsurface parameters on a base case model, although recent studies highlighted usefulness of discrete deterministic multiple geological scenario-based modeling. This paper illustrates the benefits of capturing the principal geological uncertainties through discrete subsurface scenarios, through a case study from the Vijaya and Vandana (V&V) field, Barmer Basin, northwest India.
