“…This connection can be driven by eustatic fall, but it can also occur in tectonically active margins where the shelf is narrow (e.g., the California Borderlands), or on passive margins where a long-lived canyon has cut headward across a broad shelf (e.g., the Congo River-Zaire Canyon, the Swatch of No Ground Canyon of the Bengal system). The possibility also exists for deltas to build across the shelf and make a connection with submarine canyons even in periods of high sea level in areas of high sediment flux (Burgess and Hovius 1998;Carvajal et al 2009;Dixon et al 2012). …”

“…This study presents results from the first high-resolution seismic survey of the Indus River subaqueous delta, which documents the existence of a well- Although the entire continental margin itself can be thought as a clinoform/clinothem (Figure 1), similar landscapes and deposits of smaller scale occur across the shelf and especially in front of deltas (Walsh et al, 2004), constituting the building blocks of the continental margin (Somme et al, 2009;Carvajal et al 2009). …”

“…More importantly, the authors argue that the two prograding packages were formed by autogenic forcing (i.e., changes in sediment supply rates; cf. Carvajal et al 2009), rather than by sea-level changes as proposed by Park et al (2000) and Lee et al (2014Lee et al ( , 2015. , in turn, tackle the problem of massive mud deposition in the HMB (i.e., ca.…”
