## Facts

| Field | Value |
| --- | --- |
| Description | This cluster of papers explores the various processes and mechanisms involved in sedimentation, including fluvial systems, sequence stratigraphy, turbidity currents, submarine landslides, delta evolution, and subaqueous sediment density flows. It also delves into the tectonic and Holocene development aspects influencing sedimentary deposition in Earth's geological history. |
