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
basins have multiple coeval terminal distributary channels at different scales. Sediment …

Architecture and stratigraphy of alluvial deposits, Morrison formation (Upper Jurassic), Utah

AV Kjemperud, ER Schomacker… - AAPG …, 2008 - pubs.geoscienceworld.org
This article presents a unique cross section of a 13.5-km (8.3-mi)-long by 150-m (492-ft)-

Grain-size controls on the morphology and internal geometry of river-dominated deltas

AP Burpee, RL Slingerland… - Journal of …, 2015 - pubs.geoscienceworld.org
Predictions of a delta's morphology, facies, and stratigraphy are typically derived from its
relative wave, tide, and river energies, with sediment type playing a lesser role. Here we test …

Impact of deltaic clinothems on reservoir performance: Dynamic studies of reservoir analogs from the Ferron Sandstone Member and Panther Tongue, Utah

HD Enge, JA Howell - AAPG bulletin, 2010 - pubs.geoscienceworld.org
Subsurface reservoir models are typically limited by a lack of spatially accurate geometric
data on bedform architecture and geometry. These factors are key controls on fluid flow …
