Book Synopsis The Sediments in the Head of Carmel Submarine Canyon by : Steven Russell Wallin
Download or read book The Sediments in the Head of Carmel Submarine Canyon written by Steven Russell Wallin and published by . This book was released on 1968 with total page 112 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Carmel Submarine Canyon is cut into the Santa Lucia granodiorite formation and is the only canyon on the California coast which is cut in granite rock. The innermost head of the canyon exhibits a wide, bowl-shaped appearance, not unlike a glacial cirque. Granodiorite outcrops on the submarine terrace on the north and south sides of the canyon and in the north canyon wall. Much of the terrace and upper canyon sides are covered by coarse sand while the interior of the canyon head is covered with fine sand. The canyon is actively transporting sediment to deeper water at the present time. The chief source of sediments is coarse sand which is littorally transported from the mouth of Carmel River. This sand enters the canyon by way of three 'rivers of sand' which extend over the canyon rim and down the slopes. Additional transport of sediment within the canyon head may be the result of slumps and slides lubricated by decomposition of vegetable matter incorporated in the sediments. (Author).
Book Synopsis A Photographic Reconnaissance of the Microrelief in the Monterey and Carmel Submarine Canyons, California by : John Alexander Jensen
Download or read book A Photographic Reconnaissance of the Microrelief in the Monterey and Carmel Submarine Canyons, California written by John Alexander Jensen and published by . This book was released on 1976 with total page 302 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over 500 underwater photographs were taken in the Monterey and Carmel submarine canyons for the purpose of studying their microrelief. The pictures indicated that a variety of biological and physical differences exist not only within each canyon but also between the two nearby canyons. In MOnterey Canyon are to be found fine grain sediments which have been very actively churned by benthic organisms. Few rock outcrops were noted, and definitive evidence of current activity in the form of ripple marks was observed in only one region. Carmel Canyon included generally coarser grain material than Monterey Canyon and showed a marked absence of active burrowing. A large number of rock outcrops was observed and there appeared to be extensive current activity throughout most of the canyon. (Author).

Book Synopsis Mass Transport, Gravity Flows, and Bottom Currents by : G. Shanmugam
Download or read book Mass Transport, Gravity Flows, and Bottom Currents written by G. Shanmugam and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2020-10-31 with total page 613 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mass Transport, Gravity Flows, and Bottom Currents: Downslope and Alongslope Processes and Deposits focuses solely on important downslope and alongslope processes. The book provides clear definitions and characteristics based on soil mechanics, fluid mechanics and sediment concentration by volume. It addresses Slides, Slumps, and Debris Flows, Grain Flows, Liquefied/Fluidized Flows, and Turbidity Currents, Density plumes, Hyperpycnal Flows, the Triggering Mechanisms of Downslope Processes, Bottom Currents, and Soft-Sediment Deformation Structures. The mechanics of each process are described in detail and used to provide empirically-driven categories to help recognize these deposits it the rock record. Case studies clearly illustrate of the problems inherent in recognizing these processes in the rock record, and potential solutions are provided alongside future avenues of research. An appendix also provides step-by-step guidance in describing and interpreting sediments. Comprehensively addresses modern downslope and alongslope processes, including definitions and mechanisms Provides key criteria for the recognition of depositional facies in the rock record Includes case studies to illustrate each downslope and alongslope process Identifies key problems and potential solutions for future research Uses pragmatic, empirical, data-driven interpretations to revise conventional facies models
Book Synopsis Shelf Sand and Sandstone Bodies by : D. Swift
Download or read book Shelf Sand and Sandstone Bodies written by D. Swift and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2009-04-06 with total page 542 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The last decade of study of the shallow-marine boundary layer has arrived at a synthesis of sediment dynamic principles that can begin to be transferred from the time scales of the rock record (years to millenia). At the same time, the technology of petroleum exploration has lead to a fundamentally new way of examining the deposits of sedimentary basins. This book applies these insights to continental shelf and continental margin deposits, providing an entirely new viewpoint to the subject.
Book Synopsis New Perspectives on Deep-water Sandstones by : G. Shanmugam
Download or read book New Perspectives on Deep-water Sandstones written by G. Shanmugam and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2012-01-25 with total page 509 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This handbook is vital for understanding the origin of deep-water sandstones, emphasizing sandy-mass transport deposits (SMTDs) and bottom-current reworked sands (BCRSs) in petroleum reservoirs. This cutting-edge perspective, a pragmatic alternative to the conventional turbidite concepts, is crucial because the turbidite paradigm is built on a dubious foundation without empirical data on sandy turbidity currents in modern oceans. In the absence of evidence for sandy turbidity currents in natural environments, elegant theoretical models and experimental observations of turbidity currents are irrelevant substitutes for explaining the origin of sandy deposits as "turbidites." In documenting modern and ancient SMTDs (sandy slides, sandy slumps, and sandy debrites) and BCRSs (deposits of thermohaline [contour] currents, wind-driven currents, and tidal currents), the author describes and interprets core and outcrop (1:20 to 1:50 scale) from 35 case studies worldwide (which include 32 petroleum reservoirs), totaling more than 10,000 m in cumulative thickness, carried out during the past 36 years (1974-2010). The book dispels myths about the importance of sea level lowstand and provides much-needed clarity on the triggering of sediment failures by earthquakes, meteorite impacts, tsunamis, and cyclones with implications for the distribution of deep-water sandstone petroleum reservoirs. Promotes pragmatic interpretation of deep-water sands using alternative possibilities Validates the economic importance of SMTDs and BCRS in deep-water exploration and production Rich in empirical data and timely new perspectives
