Sinossi

The laboratory work to the dynamics of turbidity currents,outlined in this volume, is the first experimentalinvestigation of the nature of downslape gravity-drivencurrents of suspended sediments which are reflected/deflected against obstacles such as seamounts oceanfloorslopes. Scientists and researchers working on theinterpretation and understanding of features occurring insequence stratigraphic sections will find useful clues.

Contenuti

Background to the research and review of density and turbidity current flow.- Experimental study of the incidence of density currents upon ramps and obstacles.- A model for the incidence of gravity currents on obstructions to flow and a discussion of its applicability to modern and ancient turidite systems.
