Trough mouth fans are formed by aggradation of glacial debris flows from sediment deposited by fast flowing ice streams extending to the shelf edge. We here investigate the two sites, ODP Site 1166 on the shelf and Site 1167 drilled on the Prydz Channel Fan in order to contribute to the understandin...
