Stratigraphic implications of the spatial and temporal variability in sediment transport in rivers, deltas and shelf margins

Stratigraphic implications of the spatial and temporal variability in sediment transport in rivers, deltas and shelf margins

Sediment delivery to a basin exerts a first-order control over sedimentation, and therefore study of sedimentary rocks can reveal information about the nature of sediment delivery in the past. This dissertation examines several aspects of this problem using experimental, outcrop, and subsurface data...
