The fluvial record of climate change.
Fluvial landforms and sediments can be used to reconstruct past hydrological conditions over different time scales once allowance has been made for tectonic, base-level and human complications. Field stratigraphic evidence is explored here at three time scales: the later Pleistocene, the Holocene, and the historical and instrumental period. New data from a range of field studies demonstrate tha...
متن کاملSynthetic Stratigraphy with a Stochastic Diffusion Model of Fluvial Sedimentation
Models of stratigraphic completeness and bed formation in fluvial depositional environments have most often assumed that successive depositional and erosional events deposit or erode amounts of sediment independently. This results in a random-walk model for the total amount of deposited sediment locally as a function of time. We consider an extension of the random-walk model of sedimentation in...
متن کاملMagnitudes and implications of peak discharges from glacial Lake Missoula
New field evidence and discharge calculation procedures provide new estimates of maximum late Pleistocene glacial Lake Missoula flood discharges for two important reaches along the flood route. Within the Spokane Valley, near the point of release, the peak discharge probably exceeded 17 ± 3 million m-sec. Downstream at Wallula Gap, a major point of flow convergence, peak discharge was about 10 ...
متن کاملFluvial Discharge Rates of Martian Gullies: Slope Measurements from Stereo Hirise Images and Numerical Modeling of Sediment Transport
Introduction: A stereo pair of HiRISE images of a pole-facing crater slope at 38S, 218E shows many fresh looking gullies. After measuring slopes using the stereo viewing geometry, we estimate the expected fluvial discharge rates using theory from Kleinhans [1] and Ikeda [2]. We also develop a numerical model of sediment transport based on theory presented in Kleinhans [1] to determine the time ...
متن کاملField migration rates of tidal meanders recapitulate fluvial morphodynamics
The majority of tidal channels display marked meandering features. Despite their importance in oil-reservoir formation and tidal landscape morphology, questions remain on whether tidal-meander dynamics could be understood in terms of fluvial processes and theory. Key differences suggest otherwise, like the periodic reversal of landscape-forming tidal flows and the widely accepted empirical noti...
