A general model for the helical structure of geophysical flows in channel bends (2017)
Journal Article
Azpiroz-Zabala, M., Cartigny, M., Sumner, E., Clare, M., Talling, P., Parsons, D., & Cooper, C. (2017). A general model for the helical structure of geophysical flows in channel bends. Geophysical Research Letters, 44(23), 11,932-11,941. https://doi.org/10.1002/2017gl075721

Meandering channels formed by geophysical flows (e.g. rivers and seafloor turbidity currents) include the most extensive sediment transport systems on Earth. Previous measurements from rivers show how helical flow at meander bends plays a key role in... Read More about A general model for the helical structure of geophysical flows in channel bends.

Linking submarine channel-levee facies and architecture to flow structure of turbidity currents: insights from flume tank experiments (2017)
Journal Article
de Leeuw, J., Eggenhuisen, J. T., & Cartigny, M. J. (2018). Linking submarine channel-levee facies and architecture to flow structure of turbidity currents: insights from flume tank experiments. Sedimentology, 65(3), 931-951. https://doi.org/10.1111/sed.12411

Submarine leveed channels are sculpted by turbidity currents that are commonly highly stratified. Both the concentration and the grain size decrease upward in the flow, and this is a fundamental factor that affects the location and grain size of depo...

Newly recognized turbidity current structure can explain prolonged flushing of submarine canyons (2017)
Journal Article
Azpiroz-Zabala, M., Cartigny, M., Talling, P., Parsons, D., Sumner, E., Clare, M., …Pope, E. (2017). Newly recognized turbidity current structure can explain prolonged flushing of submarine canyons. Science Advances, 3(10), Article e1700200. https://doi.org/10.1126/sciadv.1700200

Seabed-hugging flows called turbidity currents are the volumetrically most important process transporting sediment across our planet and form its largest sediment accumulations. We seek to understand the internal structure and behavior of turbidity c... Read More about Newly recognized turbidity current structure can explain prolonged flushing of submarine canyons.

Direct monitoring of active geohazards: emerging geophysical tools for deep-water assessments (2017)

Seafloor networks of cables, pipelines, and other infrastructure underpin our daily lives, providing communication links, information, and energy supplies. Despite their global importance, these networks are vulnerable to damage by a number of natura...

Bedforms related to Froude-supercritical flow, such as cyclic steps, are increasingly frequently observed in contemporary fluvial and marine sedimentary systems. However, the number of observations of sedimentary structures formed by supercritical-fl...

A new model for turbidity current behavior based on integration of flow monitoring and precision coring in a submarine canyon (2017)
Journal Article

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 turbidity currents results from analyzing their deposits in the sedim...
