Abstract
Morphometric scaling relationships in submarine channel–lobe systems
Highlights
Scaling relationships of sediment-routing systems provide insights into the intrinsic properties and processes of those systems by identifying linkages between morphometric and other quantitative characteristics
Relatively few studies have focused on scaling relationships in submarine fans, which are net-depositional environments within continental-margin sedimentrouting systems that are diverse in size and morphology (Fig. DR1 in the GSA Data Repository1)
To mitigate this RESULTS issue, we focused on high-quality seafloor and aspect ratios (LLB/WLB) of lobe-shaped bodies (LBs) demonstrate a relatively narrow range of planform geometries near-surface data
Summary
Scaling relationships of sediment-routing systems provide insights into the intrinsic properties and processes of those systems by identifying linkages between morphometric and other quantitative characteristics (e.g., hydraulic properties and sediment flux). Relatively few studies have focused on scaling relationships in submarine fans, which are net-depositional environments within continental-margin sedimentrouting systems that are diverse in size and morphology (Fig. DR1 in the GSA Data Repository). Relatively few studies have focused on scaling relationships in submarine fans, which are net-depositional environments within continental-margin sedimentrouting systems that are diverse in size and morphology (Fig. DR1 in the GSA Data Repository1) These composite depositional features consist of channels and multiple scales of lobe-shaped bodies (LBs), formed by channelized and unconfined.
