Stratal stacking patterns provide the basis for the definition of all units and surfaces of
sequence stratigraphy. The same types of stacking patterns may be observed at different …

Stratigraphic cyclicity can be observed at different scales. At each scale of observation (ie,
hierarchical level), the building blocks of the sequence stratigraphic framework are …

Abstract Analysis of Wax Lake Delta, a modern bay head delta located in the western portion
of the Mississippi River Delta Complex, indicates that this delta is comprised of …

Bedforms related to supercritical flows are increasingly recognised as important constituents
of many depositional environments, but outcrop studies are commonly hampered by long …

Orders of stratigraphic sequences are being used loosely and with widely varying
definitions. The orders seem to be subdivisions of convenience rather than an indication of …

Converging research in modern environments, stratigraphy, numerical modeling, and
physical experiments introduce new ideas and reinforce prior thinking on the complex and …

This paper presents a detailed analysis of the high‐resolution facies architecture of the
Middle Pleistocene Porta subaqueous ice‐contact fan and delta complex, deposited on the …

Modern depositional settings provide unambiguous geomorphic data facilitating the
quantification of geologic interpretations for the numerical characterization of subsurface …

Shallow-water deltas remain enigmatic in terms of placing the observed facies within a
coherent process-based depositional model. Here we report tank experiments on mouth-bar …

Peritidal platforms rimmed by reefs, and raised reefs rimming deep lagoons, are
characteristic morphologies of the tropical carbonate factory; their geometry contrasts …
