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…
Understanding how environmental forcings (e.g., tectonics, climate) are transformed by erosional landscapes into sedimentary signals is a critical component of inverting the stratigraphic record. Prev…
Detrital geochronology and thermochronology have emerged as primary methods of reconstructing the tectonic and surficial evolution of the Earth over geologic time. Technological improvements in the ac…
Cyclic steps are long-wave (the ratio of wavelength to height is ≫ 1), upstream-migrating, upper-flow-regime bedforms bounded by internal hydraulic jumps (i.e., transition from densimetric Froude supe…
Salty weirdness Salt is a weird kind of rock. At first sight, it behaves like most other rocks: if you pick up a piece, it is hard, it is heavy, and it breaks if hit with a hammer. But put it under stress for thousands of years, and salt will behave like a fluid: relatively small forces can cause it to flow toward less stressful surroundings. This often means it will try to find its way to the surface. ...
Several laterally offset and aggradational sinuous submarine channels are contained within a 54 km long segment of the Benin-major Canyon. Axial channel deposits produce high amplitude reflections on …
