Spilling into confinement: Submarine canyon-confined overbank processes and architecture Open
Submarine canyon-confined overbanks comprise substantial volumes of thin-bedded sediment gravity flow deposits that were either stripped or overspilled from adjacent channels and offer more complete records of canyon evolution than axial d…

Sedimentology of plastics: state of the art and future directions Open
Plastic waste is now a ubiquitous sedimentary material, from the polar ice caps to the deep ocean. Determining the physical and chemical properties, transport pathways and accumulation sites of plastic particles is essential to characteriz…

The combined role of near-bed currents and sub-seafloor processes in the transport and pervasive burial of microplastics in submarine canyons Open
Submarine canyons are important conduits for microplastic transport to the deep sea, but the processes involved in that transport and how faithfully seafloor deposits record trends in pollution remain unclear. We use sediment push cores fo…

Direct Evidence That Microplastics Are Transported to the Deep Sea by Turbidity Currents Open
Microplastics pervade the global seafloor, yet the mechanisms by which this pollutant is increasingly transported to the deep sea remain unclear. Fast-moving sediment avalanches (called turbidity currents) are hypothesized to efficiently t…

Microplastics accumulate in all major organs of the mediterranean loggerhead sea turtle (Caretta caretta) Open
Microplastics (MPs) are a pervasive marine environmental pollutant, posing a serious threat to marine ecosystems and organisms at all trophic levels. Plastic ingestion is well documented in marine turtles, and loggerhead sea turtles (Caret…

Untangling microfibres: Pervasive plastic pollution in submarine canyons Open
Submarine canyons are important conduits for microplastic transport to the deep sea via turbidity currents. However, other near-bed oceanographic flows and sub-seafloor processes may play an important role in the transport and burial of mi…

Microplastic transport and settling in the ocean: an interactive online teaching model to communicate scaling in environmental pollution Open
Microplastics pervade the sea surface, the water column, and the deep seafloor. They are vectors for other pollutants, such as heavy metals and persistent organic pollutants. A question remains as to how microplastics reach the seabed, ove…

Evolution and architecture of an exhumed ocean‐facing coarse‐grained submarine canyon fill, Baja California, Mexico Open
Present day submarine canyons are active conduits for the transfer of large volumes of sediment, carbon and pollutants from continents to oceans. However, the evolution of submarine canyons over geological timescales remains poorly underst…

Unconfined gravity current interactions with orthogonal topography: Implications for combined‐flow processes and the depositional record Open
Turbidity current behaviour is affected by interactions with seafloor topography. Changes in flow dynamics will depend on the orientation and gradient of the topography, and the magnitude and rheology of the incoming flow. A better underst…

Initiation and evolution of an epicontinental shelf‐slope margin in an actively contracting deep‐water basin: The Eocene Aínsa Basin, southern Pyrenees (Spain) Open
The shelf‐slope margin is a geomorphic zone with a change in gradient between subaqueous shelves and slopes, which extends towards the submarine basin‐floor. It is important because it partitions distinct sedimentary and biogenic processes…

Evolution and architecture of an overbank in an ocean-facing canyon-fill. Open
Submarine canyon-fills comprise substantial volumes of thin-bedded successions deposited by sediment gravity flows that are either stripped or overspill from adjacent channels into highly confined, topographically complex overbank settings…

Interactions between internal tides and turbidity currents: an under-recognized process in deep-marine stratigraphy? Open
Deep-sea currents transfer sediment, nutrients, and pollutants, which drive climatic, ecological and geomorphological variation in the global ocean. The complex interaction of downslope currents and internal tides in submarine canyons has …
