This paper investigates the relationship between post-cutoff bend curvature and channel kinematics in meandering rivers using Trinity River data.
Stratigraphic correlation of geophysical well logs is one of the most importantand most time-consuming—tasks that applied geoscientists perform on a daily basis. Using the dynamic time warping (DTW) a…
The simplest definition of point bars is that they are sedimentary deposits forming on the inner, convex bank of river bends. [‘Inner’ and ‘convex’ bank means that, looking toward the river, the bank is curving around you.] Amadeus W. Grabau, an early ‘influencer’ in stratigraphy and sedimentary geology, published a beautiful drawing of how meanders grow, point bars evolve, and oxbow lakes form, more than a hundred years ago: Diagram illustrating the development of meanders in a river. From Grabau (1920). ...
River meander migration plays a key role in the unsteady ‘conveyor belt’ of sediment redistribution from source to sink areas. The ubiquity of river meandering is evident from remotely sensed imagery,…
We investigate the relationship between the cross-sectional geomorphic expression of a submarine channel as observed on the seafloor and the stratigraphic product of long-lived erosion, bypass, and se…
A long-standing goal of sedimentary geoscience is to understand how tectonic and climatic changes are reflected in basin fill. Here, we use 14 numerical models of continental-scale sedimentrouting sys…
