Submarine Channel-Lobe Transition Zones in Ancient Passive-Margin Turbidite Systems

Explore the intricacies of submarine channel-lobe transition zones (CLTZs) in an ancient passive-margin turbidite system through this 54-minute video lecture. Delve into the detailed lithological and architectural analyses of the Neoproterozoic Windermere turbidite system in the southern Canadian Cordillera. Examine the spatial and temporal development of an ancient channel-lobe system and its associated CLTZs, which have received less attention compared to slope channels and basin-floor depositional lobes. Gain new insights into how major changes in sediment supply and flow characteristics, such as flow efficiency and bypassing versus depositional character, influence the formation of these transitional zones. Enhance your understanding of deep-water turbidite systems and their complex depositional environments in this comprehensive presentation by Seds Online.
