The Complexity of Processes, Deposits and Stratigraphic Architecture in Gravity Current Systems

Explore the intricate world of gravity current systems in this 59-minute lecture from Seds Online. Delve into the broad spectrum of flows with complex variable transport and depositional processes, focusing on recent advancements in understanding. Examine the knowledge gap surrounding very coarse-grained flows with broad grain-size mixtures on steep slopes typical of active rift margins. Analyze superb exposures from the Gulf of Corinth rift in Greece, comparing them to subsurface and other outcrop examples. Discover the diversity of processes resulting from broad grain-size ranges within flows and investigate the role of momentum in governing sediment bypass of different sizes beyond base of slope breaks. Gain valuable insights into the complexity of processes, deposits, and stratigraphic architecture in gravity current systems.
