EuroSTRATAFORM: Three-Dimensional, Moving-Boundary, Integrated- Morphodynamic Models of Sedimentation on Continental Margins
نویسنده
چکیده
Figure 1. Cross-sectional model of continental-margin response to high-amplitude fluctuations in eustatic sea level. The panels represent (A) floodand (B) stormdominated margins. Large panels show stratigraphic architecture resulting from two sea-level cycles superimposed on steady background subsidence. Red circles denote shoreface location. Stratal spacing: ∆t = 0.6. Insets show eustatic sea level (dashed) and the evolution of the shoreline (red) and clinoform rollover (blue).

EuroSTRATAFORM: A Moving-Boundary Framework for the Formation of Strata on Continental Margins
My overarching goal is the development of twoand three-dimensional, moving-boundary, morphodynamic models of continental-margin sedimentation on geologic time scales. The lateQuaternary stratigraphic package on continental margins is a complex juxtaposition of depositional and erosional surfaces that reflects the response of intrinsically coupled, fluvial and shallow-marine sediment dynamics to...
متن کاملUpscaling Simple Models for Energetic Shelf Sediment Transport
In the context of STRATAFORM and EuroSTRATAFORM, the long-term goal of this project is to contribute toward simultaneously understanding (i) short term oceanic processes that erode, transport and deposit sediment in the margin system and (ii) the creation of the preserved stratigraphic architecture, seafloor morphology and sediment facies on continental margins. In order for models at such disp...
متن کاملSediment Formation in Nearshore Environments: Strength, Rheology, Microstructure, and Stability
Our goals are to understand how geotechnical and physical properties develop in marine sedimentary deposits on continental margins and how these properties influence sediment transport processes and the development of geomorphology. Our studies include predicting stability of sediment on the continental shelf and slope, providing input parameters for models of sediment transport and deformation...
متن کاملSediment Erosion and Redistribution in Fine-Grained Shelf Environments
My long-term goal within the EuroSTRATAFORM program has been to increase our ability to predict sediment transport in fine-grained regions of the continental shelf through field work and application and further development of models at the Adriatic and Gulf of Lions EuroSTRATAFORM sites. Testing and extending our conceptual and numerical sediment transport models at these sites is an important ...
