Until recently, despite being one of the most important sediment transport phenomena on Earth, few direct measurements turbidity currents existed. Consequently, their structure and evolution were poorly understood, particularly whether they are dense or dilute. Here, we analyze largest number monitored to date from source sink. We show internal flow characteristic as runout. Observed frontal regions (heads) fast (>1.5 m/s), thin (<10 m), (depth averaged concentrations up 38%vol), strongly...
Turbidity currents transport vast quantities of sediment across the seafloor and form largest accumulations on Earth. These flows pose a hazard to strategically important infrastructure are agents for organic carbon nutrients that support deep-sea ecosystems. Therefore, it is quantify scale these flows, amount they transport, evolution their discharge over time space along flow path. Two modes have been proposed based experimental numerical models. The first termed ignition, where entrain...
