Morphodynamics of submarine channel inception revealed by new experimental approach

Morphodynamics of submarine channel inception revealed by new experimental approach

Suspended sediment currents travel through channels on the ocean floor to deliver enormous volumes of sediment to the deep ocean. Here, using a new approach for scaled laboratory experiments, the authors show how feedback between these currents and their deposits drive the formation of these submari...
