Deposit structure and processes of sand deposition from a decelerating sediment suspension

Turbidity currents are notoriously difficult to monitor directly, therefore interpretation of their deposits forms the basis for much of our understanding of these flows. The deceleration rate of a flow is a potentially important yet poorly understood control on depositional processes. A series of e...
