Most tide-dominated estuarine and deltaic deposits accumulate in the fluvial-to-marine
transition zone, which is one of the most complicated areas on earth, because of the large …

Sedimentary rocks contain the most important archive of environmental change through
earth history. They record changing climates, the movement of plates, and the rise and fall of …

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 …

ABSTRACT A process‐based facies model for asymmetric wave‐influenced deltas predicts
significant river‐borne muds with potentially lower quality reservoir facies in prodelta and …

Analyses of deltaic facies successions highlight recurring ichnological patterns that reflect a
variety of physicochemical stresses imposed upon infaunal organisms by the interaction of …

The facies characteristics of the shallow marine environment are largely determined by the
complex interplay and relative importance of wave energy, tidal flux, storm magnitudes and …

Sea-level shift from the innermost shelf out to the shelf edge produces bayhead, inner-shelf,
mid-shelf, and shelf-margin deltas. We suggest that these delta types are distinguishable in …

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 …

Deposits of lowstand deltas formed on the floor of the Cretaceous Interior seaway of North
America are found in the Cenomanian, lower Belle Fourche Member of the Frontier …

Although delta-building processes and the resultant facies and facies associations have
been studied for over a century, there remains a lack of well-documented facies architectural …
