Deltas

JP Bhattacharya - 2006 - pubs.geoscienceworld.org
Deltas are discrete shoreline protuberances formed where a river enters a standing body of
water and supplies sediments more rapidly than they can be redistributed by basinal …

Terminal distributary channels and delta front architecture of river-dominated delta systems

C Olariu, JP Bhattacharya - Journal of sedimentary …, 2006 - pubs.geoscienceworld.org
Using modern and ancient examples we show that river-dominated deltas formed in shallow
