Glacigenic debris-flows observed in 3D seismic high-resolution seafloor imagery, Faroe–Shetland Channel, NE Atlantic

Glacigenic debris-flows represent successive mass-flow deposits that build out a prograding wedge of sediment beyond the grounding zone of an ice sheet (e.g. Laberg & Vorren 1995; King et al. 1998). A prograding sedimentary depocentre extending from the outer shelf to the upper slope has been ob...
