Abstract
The last decade has seen a huge research effort focused on gravity current processes and products, in response to hydrocarbon exploration for submarine fan reservoirs in deep-water frontier areas and our need to better predict and mitigate against geological hazards such as debris flows and lahars. This book is a timely collection of recent work on the fundamental processes of particulate gravity currents, and arose from the conference ‘Sediment transport and deposition by particulate gravity currents’ held in December 1998 at Leeds, UK. Papers deal with a range of natural systems, including siliciclastic turbidity currents and debris flows, pyroclastic density currents and avalanches. The book is organized into four sections, based on different research approaches to particulate gravity currents. This structure successfully highlights …
