Deep-water (below wave base) processes, although generally hidden
from view, shape the sedimentary record of more than 65% of the
Earth s surface, including large parts of ancient mountain belts.
This book aims to inform advanced-level undergraduate and
postgraduate students, and professional Earth scientists with
interests in physical oceanography and hydrocarbon exploration and
production, about many of the important physical aspects of
deep-water (mainly deep-marine) systems. The authors consider
transport and deposition in the deep sea, trace-fossil assemblages,
and facies stacking patterns as an archive of the underlying
controls on deposit architecture (e.g., seismicity, climate change,
autocyclicity). Topics include modern and ancient deep-water
sedimentary environments, tectonic settings, and how basinal and
extra-basinal processes generate the typical characteristics of
basin slopes, submarine canyons, contourite mounds and drifts,
submarine fans, basin floors and abyssal plains.
