At MIT's Morphodynamics Laboratory, research scientist James Buttles adjusts the inflow valve of a sediment-laden, gravity-driven current flowing in an experimental channel. Observing how the sediment is deposited in and around the channel is providing new insights into the structure of oil-rich sediment-filled channels found deep under the sea floor.
