The influence of basin setting and turbidity current properties on the dimensions of submarine lobe elements (2020)
Journal Article
Spychala, Y. T., Eggenhuisen, J. T., Tilston, M., & Pohl, F. (2020). The influence of basin setting and turbidity current properties on the dimensions of submarine lobe elements. Sedimentology, 67(7), 3471-3491. https://doi.org/10.1111/sed.12751

Submarine lobes have been identified within various deep‐water settings, including the basin‐floor, the base of slope and the continental slope. Their dimensions and geometries are postulated to be controlled by the topographic configuration of the s...

Transport and Burial of Microplastics in Deep-Marine Sediments by Turbidity Currents (2020)
Journal Article
Pohl, F., Eggenhuisen, J. T., Kane, I. A., & Clare, M. A. (2020). Transport and Burial of Microplastics in Deep-Marine Sediments by Turbidity Currents. Environmental Science and Technology, 54(7), 4180-4189. https://doi.org/10.1021/acs.est.9b07527

The threat posed by plastic pollution to marine ecosystems and human health is under increasing scrutiny. Much of the macro- and microplastic in the ocean ends up on the seafloor, with some of the highest concentrations reported in submarine canyons...

The influence of a slope break on turbidite deposits: An experimental investigation (2020)
Journal Article
Pohl, F., Eggenhuisen, J., Cartigny, M., Tilston, M., Leeuw, J. D., & Hermidas, N. (2020). The influence of a slope break on turbidite deposits: An experimental investigation. Marine Geology, 424, Article 106160. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.margeo.2020.106160

Bypassing turbidity currents can travel downslope without depositing any of their suspended sediment load. Along the way, they may encounter a slope break (i.e. an abrupt decrease in slope angle) that initiates sediment deposition. Depending on the i...

Channel-levee evolution in combined contour current–turbidity current flows from flume-tank experiments (2020)
Journal Article
Hernández-Molina, F. J., Campbell, D. C., Normandeau, A., Pohl, F., Poneti, G., Jacinto, R. S., …Miramontes, E. (2020). Channel-levee evolution in combined contour current–turbidity current flows from flume-tank experiments. Geology, 48(4), 353-357. https://doi.org/10.1130/g47111.1

Turbidity currents and contour currents are common sedimentary and oceanographic processes in deep-marine settings that affect continental margins worldwide. Their simultaneous interaction can form asymmetric and unidirectionally migrating channels,...

New flow relaxation mechanism explains scour fields at the end of submarine channels (2019)
Journal Article
Pohl, F., Eggenhuisen, J., Tilston, M., & Cartigny, M. (2019). New flow relaxation mechanism explains scour fields at the end of submarine channels. Nature Communications, 10(1), Article 4425. https://doi.org/10.1038/s41467-019-12389-x

Particle-laden gravity flows, called turbidity currents, flow through river-like channels across the ocean floor. These submarine channels funnel sediment, nutrients, pollutants and organic carbon into ocean basins and can extend for over 1000’s of k...

Turbulent diffusion modelling of sediment in turbidity currents: An experimental validation of the Rouse approach (2019)
Journal Article

The margins of submarine channels are characterized by deposits that fine away from the channel thalweg. This grain‐size trend is thought to reflect upward fining trends in the currents that formed the channels. This assumption enables reconstruction...
