Explore the fascinating world of deep water sediment deposition in this comprehensive lecture on hybrid contour-turbidity currents. Delve into the complex interactions between sediment gravity flows and bottom currents on continental slopes, and discover how these processes shape the ocean floor. Learn about groundbreaking laboratory experiments that provide the first measurements of combined contour-current and turbidity-current flows, revealing how contour currents can significantly influence turbidity current behavior. Gain insights into the formation of asymmetric channel-levee systems and understand the importance of integrating knowledge from different research communities to fully comprehend deep water sediment transport and deposition. Join Dr. Joris T. Eggenhuisen and collaborators from Utrecht University as they present their findings and initiate discussions on future research directions in this critical area of sedimentology.
