TL;DR: In this article, the authors evaluate environmental signal propagation across sediment-routing systems with emphasis on sediment supply, Qs, as the carrier of up-system forcings, and provide a set of conceptual and practical tools for evaluating sediment supply within a source-to-sink context, which can inform interpretations of signals from the sedimentary record.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors developed a forward model of slope turbidite reservoirs that is internally consistent, reproducible, and quantifiable using event-based forward modeling, utilizing rules.

TL;DR: The authors employed a global database of millennial-scale continental-scale deep-sea deposition rates, activities of canyon-channel systems, and episodes of submarine-fan growth since 35 ka to assess the timing of terrigenous sediment delivery to the deep sea.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors focused on the submarine fans fed by the Oceanside, Carlsbad, and La Jolla Canyons, all of which head within the length of the Ocean-side littoral cell.

TL;DR: Submarine lobe dimensions from six different systems are compared in this paper, and the results indicate that the basin floor topography influences lobe geometry, but the fact that lobe volumes have a narrow range indicates a strong influence of intrinsic processes.
