Synthetic Stratigraphy with a Stochastic Diffusion Model of Fluvial Sedimentation
Models of stratigraphic completeness and bed formation in fluvial depositional environments have most often assumed that successive depositional and erosional events deposit or erode amounts of sediment independently. This results in a random-walk model for the total amount of deposited sediment locally as a function of time. We consider an extension of the random-walk model of sedimentation in...
متن کاملFluvial Stratigraphy and Regional Volcanism at Hypanis Delta , Mars
Introduction: The Hypanis fan-shaped deposit in Xanthe Terra has been interpreted by many to be a late Noachian aged delta along the dichotomy boundary [15]. The putative delta was a compelling candidate landing site for the future Mars 2020 and ExoMars rover missions as it was positioned at the edge of an open basin, could have been an ideal environment for biosignature formation, concentratio...
متن کاملFluvial landscapes of the Harappan civilization.
The collapse of the Bronze Age Harappan, one of the earliest urban civilizations, remains an enigma. Urbanism flourished in the western region of the Indo-Gangetic Plain for approximately 600 y, but since approximately 3,900 y ago, the total settled area and settlement sizes declined, many sites were abandoned, and a significant shift in site numbers and density towards the east is recorded. We...
متن کاملAssessing the relative efficiency of fluvial and glacial erosion through simulation of fluvial landscapes
The relative rates of erosion by rivers and glaciers, and the topographic effects of these two different styles of erosion, remain outstanding problems in geomorphology. We use a quantitative description of local fluvial landscapes to estimate how glaciated landscapes might look now had glaciers not developed. This indicates the landscape modification attributable to glacial erosion. We present...
متن کاملNew Mesoscale Fluvial Landscapes – Seismic Geomorphology and Exploration
Megafans (100-600 km radius) are very large alluvial fans that cover significant areas on most continents, the surprising finding of recent global surveys. The number of such fans and patterns of sedimentation on them provides new mesoscale architectures that can now be applied on continental fluvial depositional systems, and therefore on . Megafan-scale reconstructions underground as yet have ...
