Multi-scale simulation of fluvio-deltaic and shallow marine stratigraphy
We present a parameterization of fluvio-deltaic drainage network evolution and alluvial architecture in a basin-scale 2-DH model. The model setup is capable of producing convergent and divergent channel networks. Major elements are the alluvial-ridge aggradation and the coupled overbank deposition, the dimension and style of the channel belt and the sub-grid stratigraphic expression. Avulsions ...
متن کاملBackwater and river plume controls on scour upstream of river mouths: Implications for fluvio-deltaic morphodynamics
[1] Sediment flux from rivers to oceans is the fundamental driver of fluvio-deltaic morphodynamics and continental margin sedimentation, yet sediment transport across the river-to-marine boundary is poorly understood. Coastal rivers typically are affected by backwater, a zone of spatially decelerating flow that is transitional between normal flow upstream and the offshore river plume. Flow dece...
متن کاملConditioning channel switching for a 3-D fluvio-deltaic process model
One of the problems in modelling stratigraphy and long-term morphology of fluvio-deltaic systems is defining the location of avulsions and bifurcations. Avulsion is a sudden abandonment of the channel belt; it induces switches of the entire main channel (Allen, 1965). The rapidity with which channel switches, crevasses and bifurcations occur varies from instantaneous, relevant for civil enginee...
متن کاملSea level fall during glaciation stabilized atmospheric CO2 by enhanced volcanic degassing
Paleo-climate records and geodynamic modelling indicate the existence of complex interactions between glacial sea level changes, volcanic degassing and atmospheric CO2, which may have modulated the climate system's descent into the last ice age. Between ∼85 and 70 kyr ago, during an interval of decreasing axial tilt, the orbital component in global temperature records gradually declined, while ...
متن کاملTectonic velocities, dynamic topography, and relative sea level
[1] A simple dynamic model based on boundary layer theory shows that dynamic topography is unlikely to vary significantly in response to short term ( 20 Myr) variations in the mean tectonic velocity. Tectonic velocities essentially mirror variations in mantle viscosity, but are not indicative of substantial modification of dynamic topography, which primarily reflects mass anomalies in the mantl...
