Shelf Sediment Export

Shelf Sediment Export is a geological process denoting the net movement of particulate inorganic and organic materials from continental shelves to deeper marine environments, distinguished by its reliance on hydrodynamic forcing, gravity-driven transport mechanisms, and episodic events that overcome sediment retention on the shelf.
