Turbidity Currents in a Sinuous Channel Video of laboratory experiments documenting interactions between
turbidity currents and topography in aggrading sinuous submarine channels. Digital
video was collected from camera positioned directly above experimental basin and
therefore yield a close to synoptic representation of the channelized-overbank flow field.
Video is presented at 4 times the actual experimental time. Video includes experimental
flows 2 and 20. Each flow is clipped to incorporate the passage of both the
turbidity current head and dye injections. More details of experiment can be found in

turbidity currents and topography in aggrading sinuous submarine channels: A laboratory study, GSA

More Turbidity Currents in Sinuous Channels Video of laboratory experiments documenting interactions between turbidity currents and topography in aggrading
submarine channels of varying sinuosity. Digital video was collected from camera positioned directly above experimental basin and
therefore yield a close to synoptic representation of the channelized-overbank flow field. Video is presented at 4 times the actual
experimental time. Video includes experimental flows through channels with sinuosities of 1.00, 1.04, and 1.32. Each flow is clipped
to incorporate the passage of both the turbidity current head and dye injections. More details of experiment can be found in

channel sinuosity on the depositional mechanics of channelized turbidity currents: A laboratory study, Marine Petroleum Geology, v. 28, p. 744-760,
