Comparing Aggradation, Superelevation, and Avulsion Frequency of Submarine and Fluvial Channels

Comparing Aggradation, Superelevation, and Avulsion Frequency of Submarine and Fluvial Channels

Constraining the avulsion dynamics of rivers and submarine channels is essential for predicting the distribution of sediment, organic matter, and pollutants in alluvial, deltaic, and submarine settings. We create a geometric channel-belt framework relating channel, levee, and floodplain stratigraphy...
