报告人简介：
Ben Kneller是国际知名的深水沉积学专家，专长于深海沉积体系和重力流沉积过程研究，在Nature, AAPG, Geology, Basin Research, Sedimentology, Marine and Petroleum Geology等具有国际影响力的期刊上发表了70余篇文章，其中数篇文章被引用过50多次，单篇文章最高引用次数超280次，在深水沉积学领域产生了重要影响。作为主席或主要召集人，他曾多次主持了AAPG, IAS, SEPM等重要会议, 并数次受邀作为主题发言人，参加中国，美国，英国，意大利等国家的深水沉积研讨会。Benjamin Kneller 教授创立了在国际上有重要影响力的两个深水沉积研究组——英国利兹大学的Turbidites Research Group和阿伯丁大学的Turbidites.org。
报告内容简介：
A large proportion of the sediment generated by erosion of the continents is ultimately delivered to the deep ocean to form submarine fans, being carried to the margins of these fans by turbidity currents that flow through submarine channels that may be hundreds or even thousands of kilometers long. The persistence of these flows over extremely long distances with gradients that may be 10-4 or less, while maintaining sediment as coarse as fine-grained sand in suspension, is enigmatic, given the drag that one would expect to be experienced by such flows, and the effects of progressive dilution by entrainment of ambient seawater.
