Summary

Understanding submarine fans and turbidite systems has been a major quest of earth scientists. Although these deep water features have been historically important as petroleum reservoirs, recent advances in seismic reflection technology have dramatically improved our ability to image their internal character, making them increasingly more important exploration targets. However, the proliferation of many types of data has made it difficult for geoscientists to examine and integrate all aspects of these important depositional systems. Weimer and Link have addressed this problem by compiling twenty-three key papers that discuss current techniques and concepts and review important geological and geophysical characteristics of both ancient and modern submarine fans and turbidite systems.
