Deepwater Deposition
Who is this community?
The deepwater deposition research group focuses on all aspects of deepwater deposition from submarine fans to mass transport deposits.
Deepwater + The Sedimentary Record Special Issue: Future Directions of Deepwater Sedimentology
The special issue is open to anyone, and we welcome all submissions relevant to deepwater sedimentology; participants of the Deep Water Research Group Forum 2021 are especially encouraged to submit manuscripts related to the work they presented at the forum.
Submissions will be accepted throughout the duration of 2022. Special topics include:
- Carbon Capture, Utilization and Storage (CCUS) in deep-sea sediments
- Carbon burial in deep-sea sediments
- Deepwater gas Hydrates
- Critical minerals within deepwater sedimentary deposits
- Deep sea geothermal energy
- Microplastics and Pollutants in Deep-sea sediments
- Recent advances and applications using machine learning and quantitative analysis in deepwater deposits
- Modern day deepwater monitoring of canyons
- Modern Hazards - submarine landslides etc.
