Journal of Geophysical Research: Oceans, 119(4), 2620-2641. https://doi.org/10.1002/2014jc009807

Channelized submarine gravity currents travel remarkable distances, transporting sediment to the distal reaches of submarine fans. However, the mechanisms by which flows can be sustained over these distances remain enigmatic. In this paper we conside...
