Scaling properties of gravity-driven sediments

Recent field observations of the statistical distribution of turbidite and debris flow deposits are discussed. In some cases one finds a good fit over 1.5-2 orders of magnitude to the scaling law <i>N(h)</i> α <i>h<sup>-B</sup></i>, where <i>N(h)</i> i...
