Morphodynamics and Stratigraphic Architecture of Shelf-Edge Deltas Subject to Constant vs. Dynamic Environmental Forcings: A Laboratory Study

Morphodynamics and Stratigraphic Architecture of Shelf-Edge Deltas Subject to Constant vs. Dynamic Environmental Forcings: A Laboratory Study

When deltas dock at continental margins they construct thick stratigraphic intervals and activate continental slope sediment routing systems (SRS). Given their thickness, these deposits have the capacity to store detailed paleo-environmental records. Several competing theories describe how SRS compr...
