Fluvial landforms and deposits provide one of the most readily studied Quaternary
continental records, and alluvial strata represent an important component in most ancient …

▪ Abstract Avulsion is the natural process by which flow diverts out of an established river
channel into a new permanent course on the adjacent floodplain. Avulsions are primarily …

The study and interpretation of the textures, sedimentary structures, fossils, and lithologic
associations of sedimentary rocks on the scale of an outcrop, well section, or small segment …

The three-dimensional geometry of fluvial channel bodies and valley fills has received much
less attention than their internal structure, despite the fact that many subsurface analyses …

The major goal of this book is to bring together evidence of active deformation on alluvial
rivers, with emphasis on geomorphological adjustment. The authors have grouped their …

The Siwalik formations of northern Pakistan consist of deposits of ancient rivers that existed
throughout the early Miocene through the late Pliocene. The formations are highly …

On the basis of paleontological content (vertebrates and palynology) and facies analysis
from river banks, road cuts, and three wells, we have assigned the uppermost levels of the …

Recent development of fluvial facies models has been due to improved description of
natural river and floodplain processes and deposits using:(1) ground-penetrating radar …

Significant volumes of terrigenous organic matter can be preserved to form coals only when
and where the overall increase in accommodation approximately equals the production rate …

There is as yet no rational basis for predicting the conditions leading to avulsion of a
meandering river. Here we present a conceptual model and quantify it under simplifying …
