Long-lived deep-sea thermohaline currents and their influence on sediment-gravity flow systems

The University of Manchester
Department of Earth and Environmental Sciences
  Research Group: Planetary and environmental science
Long-lived deep-sea thermohaline currents and their influence on sediment-gravity flow systems. Background. Increasing evidence suggests that many sandy deep-water successions represent ‘hybrid’ systems in which initially deposited turbidites are modified by thermohaline-driven bottom currents. Read more
