Along their fluvial to marine transition zone, tide-dominated river deltas show upstream to
downstream trends in channel width, sinuosity, and depth, which at present have been only …

Tidal dunes versus tidal bars: The sedimentological and architectural characteristics of compound dunes in a tidal seaway, the lower Baronia Sandstone (Lower …

C Olariu, RJ Steel, RW Dalrymple, MK Gingras - Sedimentary Geology, 2012 - Elsevier
The Lower Eocene Baronia Formation in the Ager Basin is interpreted as a series of stacked

The role of tidal, wave and river currents in the evolution of mixed‐energy deltas: Example from the Lajas Formation (Argentina)

VM Rossi, RJ Steel - Sedimentology, 2016 - Wiley Online Library
Many modern deltas show complex morphologies and architectures related to the interplay
of river, wave and tidal currents. However, methods for extracting the signature of the …

Tide-dominated deltas

SL Goodbred Jr, Y Saito - Principles of tidal sedimentology, 2011 - Springer
Among tidally influenced sedimentary environments, tide-dominated deltas are perhaps the
most variable and difficult to characterize. This variability is due in part to the major role that …

Changes in depositional processes—an ingredient in a new generation of sequence-stratigraphic models

S Yoshida, RJ Steel… - Journal of …, 2007 - pubs.geoscienceworld.org
Existing sequence-stratigraphic models for shoreline deposits commonly assume a constant
process regime throughout the relative-sea-level (RSL) cycle over a wide range of …

Practical problems in the application of the sequence stratigraphic method and key surfaces: integrating observations from ancient fluvial–deltaic wedges with …

JP Bhattacharya - Sedimentology, 2011 - Wiley Online Library
Sequence stratigraphy solved the basic problem that genetically related, but different,
lithofacies were routinely assigned to different lithostratigraphic units defined by arbitrary …

Deciphering the relative importance of fluvial and tidal processes in the fluvial–marine transition

RW Dalrymple, CE Kurcinka, BVJ Jablonski… - Developments in …, 2015 - Elsevier
Sedimentation in the fluvial–marine transition is governed by the interaction of river and tidal
currents. Tidal currents act continuously, albeit with small variations in strength as a result of …
