Scaling Relationships and Evolution of Distributary Networks on Wave-Influenced Deltas
No genetic model can explain the variability in distributary network pattern on modern deltas. Here we derive scaling relationships for two processes known to create distributary channels and, with these laws, construct a simple model for distributary network evolution. The first process is mouth-bar deposition at the shoreline and subsequent channel bifurcation; the second is avulsion—the whol...
متن کاملReconstruction of Channelized Facies Using Sparsity Constraints
A new approach is presented for inverse modeling to reconstruct continuous features in space, such as channels, that exhibit sparseness in a complementary basis (e.g. a Fourier basis) using observations in spatial domain. Continuity in space is used to constrain the solution to be sparse in the discrete cosine transform (DCT) domain. The DCT is used to effectively reduce the dimension of the se...
متن کاملTopological Operations for Geomorphological Evolution
Geomorphological processes sculpt the shape of our everyday landscapes and must therefore be simulated to generate plausible digital landscapes. In particular, topological changes must be taken into account during the formation of complex geometries such as natural arches, bridges or tunnels. We present a novel approach to simulate the geomorphological evolution of a 3D terrain represented as a...
متن کاملAlluvial fan facies of the Qazvin Plain: paleoclimate and tectonic implications during Quaternary
The present research focuses on a detailed facies description and interpretation of five alluvial fans of the Qazvin Plain. Beside the tectonic activity that leads to the localization of the fans on the northern margin of the Qazvin Plain, the climate has a significant role in the occurrence of their facies. The alluvial fans are divided into three facies groups: group 1, group 2, and group 3. ...
متن کاملMedical Hydrogeology of Asian Deltas: Status of Groundwater Toxicants and Nutrients, and Implications for Human Health
Drinking water, a fluid primarily for human hydration, is also a source of mineral nutrients. Groundwater, a drinking water source for more than 70% of inhabitants living in Asian deltas, has received much attention because of its naturally occurring arsenic, but the linkage of arsenic toxicity with other water constituents has not been studied. In addition, although nutrients are generally pro...
