Mass-Transport Deposits in Deepwater Settings
R. Craig Shipp, Paul Weimer, Henry W. Posamentier
Historically, submarine-mass failures or mass-transport deposits have been a focus of increasingly intense investigation by academic institutions particularly during the last decade, though they received much less attention by geoscientists in the energy industry.
