Grain-size measurements were performed on bulk sediments with a Beckman Coulter Laser diffraction particle size analyzer LS 13 320 at MARUM laboratories (University of Bremen). Sediment samples were pre-treated with a dispersing agent (tetra sodium pyrophosphate) while boiling for a few minutes to disaggregate flocked particles.-54.1412-53.344-38.219-37.9023German Research Foundationhttps://doi.org/10.13039/50110000165949926684EXC 309: The Ocean in the Earth SystemGerman Research Foundationhttps://doi.org/10.13039/501100001659EXC 80The Future OceanUtrecht Universityhttps://doi.org/10.13039/501100001829OCENW.KLEIN.462Sediment deposition on continental slopes from combined bottom currents and sediment gravity flows
