First wide-angle view of channelized turbidity currents links migrating cyclic steps to flow characteristics
The basal structure of turbidity currents and their association with crescent-shaped bedforms has not been observed at the field scale. Here, the author presents views of turbidity currents moving over and modifying such bedforms in a manner consistent with theoretical and laboratory studies of cycl...
