Self-organization of turbiditic lobe deposits: insights on stacking patterns and flow field evolution from analogue experiments under constant boundary conditions
Yvonne T. Spychala
Depositional patterns of submarine lobes are driven by a combination of allogenic (e.g., climate, tectonics) and autogenic processes (e.g., avulsion, bifurcation). However, the impact of autogenic processes and their influence on the formation and evolution of submarine lobes remain poorly understood. Studying these internal dynamics in the outcrop or in the deep sea is challenging due to natural deposits recording a mixture of autogenic and allogenic signals. To examine the autogenic developmen
