Multi-scale simulation of fluvio-deltaic and shallow marine stratigraphy
We present a parameterization of fluvio-deltaic drainage network evolution and alluvial architecture in a basin-scale 2-DH model. The model setup is capable of producing convergent and divergent channel networks. Major elements are the alluvial-ridge aggradation and the coupled overbank deposition, the dimension and style of the channel belt and the sub-grid stratigraphic expression. Avulsions ...
متن کاملA multilayer shallow water system for polydisperse sedimentation
This work considers the flow of a fluid containing one disperse substance consisting of small particles that belong to different species differing in size and density. The flow is modelled by combining a multilayer shallow water approach with a polydisperse sedimentation process. This technique allows one to keep information on the vertical distribution of the solid particles in the mixture, an...
متن کاملMississippi deltaic wetland survival: sedimentation versus coastal submergence.
Seasonal sedimentation, measured with the aid of artificial marker horizons, was markedly different in deteriorating as compared with stable marshes in the Mississippi River deltaic plain. Deteriorating marshes receive most sediment during storm events, whereas stable marshes receive substantial amounts of sediments during the spring river flood. The deteriorating marshes are accreting at a fas...
متن کاملHigh Resolution Marine Magnetic Survey of Shallow Water Littoral Area
The purpose of this paper is to present a system developed for detection andaccurate mapping of ferro-metallic objects buried below the seabed in shallow waters. Thesystem comprises a precise magnetic gradiometer and navigation subsystem, both installedon a non-magnetic catamaran towed by a low-magnetic interfering boat. In addition wepresent the results of a marine survey of a near-shore area ...
متن کاملModelling the effect of marine processes on deltaic wetlands
Deltaic wetlands are among the most biodiverse systems on earth, provide important ecosystem services, and are natural buffers against violent storms and hurricanes. Marine processes change the planar configuration and internal stratigraphy of deltaic wetlands, and understanding their contribution to wetlands development and deterioration processes is a key issue for society. In this thesis, fi...
