The water from the source is pumped into the primary filter initially to reduce the level of turbidity, suspended solids and organic matter. |
Individual beds are well graded and show sedimentary structures indicative of deposition by turbidity currents. |
Both turbidite units are sand rich, and typically interpreted as the deposits of high-density turbidity currents. |
The Dutch sedimentary petrologist and marine geologist Philip Kuenen is best known for his research on turbidity currents and their deposits. |
Slight turbidity is a result of mucin secreted by the lining of the urinary tract. |
Shepard was a member of the team which attempted to generate a turbidity current at the head of the Scripps Submarine Canyon. |
