Journal ArticleDOI
Environmental magnetism: Past, present, and future
TL;DR: A review of the current state of environmental magnetism can be found in this article, where the authors divide the field into three broad, but arbitrary, categories: sedimentary magnetism, in situ changes and transformations of magnetic minerals in sedimentary environments, and the processes responsible for variations in the magnetic minerals brought into a sedimentary environment.
Journal ArticleDOI
Bottom currents, contourites and deep-sea sediment drifts: current state-of-the-art
TL;DR: The Atlas of Contourite Systems (Atlas of contourite systems) as discussed by the authors has been used as a reference for bottom currents, contourites, and drifts.
Journal ArticleDOI
Magnetic mineral diagenesis
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors provide a treatment for the full range of diagenetic environments, including oxic, manganiferous, ferruginous, and methanic.

Size sorting in marine muds: Processes, pitfalls, and prospects for paleoflow-speed proxies
I. N. McCave,Ian Hall +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the basis for the use of fine grain size parameters for inference of paleoflow speeds is reviewed, based on data on deposited sediment taken in conjunction with flow speed measurements in the field, experimental data on suspended sediment transport and deposition.
Journal ArticleDOI
Contourites: Their recognition in modern and ancient sediments
TL;DR: A recent review of marine-based investigations reveals a lack of generally accepted criteria for the recognition of contourites on the basis of sediment character as discussed by the authors, and the problems in establishing such criteria and recognize that a continuum may exist between dilute turbidity flows, bottom currents and hemipelagic settling.

Dispersion on a Sphere
TL;DR: In this article, the authors developed a form of theory which appears to be appropriate to measurements of position on a sphere and demonstrated the simultaneous distribution of the amplitude and direction of the vector sum of a number of random unit vectors of given precision.

Origin of sedimentary rocks
TL;DR: In this paper, the origin of sedimentary rocks is discussed. And the authors propose a method to identify sedimentary sources and sedimentary sedimentary geysers in the Middle East.

The use of anisotropy of magnetic susceptibility in the estimation of sedimentary fabric1
TL;DR: In this article, the feasibility of using anisotropy of magnetic susceptibility to find preferred directions of grain orientation and current directions in sediments was discussed, and it was concluded that it should be possible to find these directions in silts and sands containing between 0.01 and 1% of magnetite.

Experimental erosion of calcareous ooze
TL;DR: In this article, the authors show that erosion velocities of abyssal calcareous ooze in shallow uniform flows of sea water can be corrected for the effects of flow depth and water temperature different from oceanic conditions.
