DESCRIPTION:Submarine sediment density flows e.g. turbidity currents and d
 ebris flows\, can transport sediment thousands of kilometres from the cont
 inental shelf to the deep sea. The deposits of these flows demonstrate tha
 t they commonly contain large amounts of clay. However\, most experiments 
 that aim to model these flows do not contain cohesive particles. I will pr
 esent experiments conducted in an annular flume using mixed flows of sand\
 , clay and water. These experiments demonstrate the profound influence of 
 small changes in clay content on flow rheology and deposit morphology.\n
