DEEP-SEA FANS: WORLD TOUR

© 2019 Journal of Sedimentary Research
This stylized map highlights the deep-sea fans mentioned in our 2019 JSR paper Deep-sea fans: Tapping into Earth's changing landscapes. Imagery was inspired by the groundbreaking maps by Al-Sharif al-Idrisi (12th century) and Jacopo de'Barbari (16th century). Featured as a scale is the Joides Resolution, the research drill ship responsible for much of our understanding of the ocean floor. The deep-sea fans here include, from west to east: Surveyor, Astoria-Tufts, Monterey, California borderland fans, Vera Cruz, Mississippi, Amazon, Var, Congo, Indus, Bengal, and Bounty.
