Types of Martian Fan - Shaped Sedimentary Deposits
Introduction: Deltas, fans and channels on Mars clearly indicate surface water in the past. These landforms contain valuable information about the duration and magnitude of surface-water flow, with obvious implications for potential life on Mars. Martian fan-shaped deposits such as deltas and alluvial fans show architectural elements similar to those of terrestrial analogs, e.g. lobes, terraces...
متن کاملSubsurface flow in lowland river gravel bars
Geomorphic and hydraulic processes, which form gravel bars in large lowland rivers, have distinctive characteristics that control the magnitude and spatial patterns of infiltration and exfiltration between rivers and their immediate subsurface environments. We present a bedform-infiltration relation together with a set of field measurements along two reaches of the San Joaquin River, CA to illu...
متن کاملModeling Sedimentary Deposits on the Continental Margin
A first objective is to investigate the fabric (pattern) of seabed stratification on continental margins at small time and space scales (1 cm-50 cm depth into the seabed; 1 hr-3 yrs sedimentary record). To this end, we are testing the hypothesis that on muddy shelves such as the northern California shelf, Holocene event stratigraphy consists of the deposits of high-concentration storm regimes a...

متن کاملUnravelling flood history using matrices in fluvial gravel deposits
Experiments carried out in a laboratory flume have shown that the infiltration of sands into gravels is largely controlled by flood magnitude and frequency. Three sets of experiments were used to simulate low flows, small floods and large floods and these showed that at low and moderate flows almost all sand stays close to the surface; however, during large flood events the surface framework pa...
