Marine Sedimentation Systems

PD Dr. habil. Till J.J. Hanebuth

Mission statement

The sedimentary histories of coasts, shelves and continental slopes are dynamically linked to each other due to their adjacency along the general material pathway from land to ocean. Our research focuses on the external forces and internal processes which have control on transport modes, patterns of deposition, and residence times in each of these marginal-marine sedimentation systems, and aims to identify coupling mechanisms between them.

Research foci

  1. Shallow-water sediment transport processes, environmental changes, and facies models
  2. Sea-level history, evolution of shorelines and deltas
  3. Depositional source-to-sink linkages, quantification of processes, budget calculations
  4. Paleoceanographic and climatic forcing in sedimentary systems
  5. Development of confined depocenters, use as environmental archives, process-based modelling of formation conditions
  6. Deposition at continental slopes driven by gravity-driven and contour-parallel currents
  7. Stratigraphy and architecture of continental margins
