We developed ‘rivabar’, a graph-based Python tool that automatically extracts river centerlines and banklines from time-lapse satellite imagery, and use it to investigate how sediment load drives channel migration patterns and stratigraphic complexity in single-thread and multi-thread rivers.
Our detailed mapping and analysis of shelf-margin evolution in the northeastern Gulf of Mexico during the last half million years are useful as a process analog for older, poorly imaged, and/or locally sampled subsurface intervals there and in other settings with delta-fed submarine channels.
This introductory chapter reviews the history of research on meandering streams and presents a compilation of data on meander morphology.
There has been debate over the processes acting on deep-water channels, with comparisons made to the evolution of meandering fluvial systems. We characterized a three-dimensional seismic-reflection da…
This paper investigates the relationship between post-cutoff bend curvature and channel kinematics in meandering rivers using Trinity River data.
Time-elevation plots and chronostratigraphic diagrams are valuable for understanding and analyzing stratigraphy when time-elevation data, or some approximation of them, are available, for example in f…
