In a recent issue of the Proceedings, Jennings & Smyth (1990) investigated a critical aspect of the Holocene coastal evolution of much of Britain; namely gravel (or shingle) sediment supply and beach morphodynamics through time. Their study area is the coastline of East Sussex, and it should be noted that it is only a component of the larger coastal unit (or 'master cell') between Selsey Bill a...

The Neogene–Quaternary development of the ∼700 km long mid-Norwegian and Lofoten–Vesterålen continental margin is reconstructed using a dense grid 2D seismic data exploration wellbores. Overall, widespread ocean current-controlled contourite drifts built up along whole segment from mid-Miocene onwards (c. 11 Ma, Kai Formation). onset 8.8 Ma) large inner shelf progradation (Molo Formation) was, ...

The Maroni River, South America, is a tropical estuary encased in narrow lower valley with limited area of estuarine tidal flat development, and displays channel large downstream-migrating sandy bedforms linked to sand-filled shallow mouth. sand-rich nature the River reflects significant fluvial bedload supply, among rivers lowest suspension-sized sediment load world. During dry season, shows h...

Cliff-top boulder deposits (CBDs) are morphological indicators of high-energy conditions. Since 2014, a monitoring CBDs dynamics has been undertaken on the south-western coast Iceland (Reykjanes Peninsula) to monitor their long-term activation (quarrying, transport and deposition) as proxy inter-annual winter storminess variations basaltic cliff erosion processes in context rocky progradation. ...

The well-known fossiliferous and lithologically variable Middle Devonian Shaly-Calcareous Skały Formation in the Łysogóry Region (northern part of Holy Cross Mountains, central Poland) was studied for first time terms elemental geochemistry, carbon isotope stratigraphy limestone microfacies. Three Lower to Givetian marly-limestone successions, exposed at Miłoszów, represent middle outer facies ...

The occurrence and rate of tufa deposition are controlled by a large number external internal factors, including climate which often represents the main allocyclic factor. In this study, first its kind in Middle Atlas (Northern Morocco), we test dependency between factor Holocene deposits basin-like settings that involve enlarged barrage extensive dammed area using sedimentologic stratigraphic ...

ABSTRACT Behavior of sediment gravity flows can be influenced by seafloor topography associated with salt structures; this modify the depositional architecture deep-water sedimentary systems. Typically, salt-influenced successions are poorly imaged in seismic reflection data, and exhumed systems rare, hence detailed sedimentology stratigraphic these remains understood. The Triassic (Keuper) Bak...

The sedimentary sequences found within estuaries in the north west Nelson region of central New Zealand are investigated order to quantify timing end Post Glacial Marine Transgression. This has been identified as being relatively stable terms vertical tectonic movement during Holocene, but is yet yield any reconstructions eustatic sea level. In this study, we investigate Holocene infill a barri...

This study presents the sedimentary succession of an outwash plain and alluvial fan located along valley Langedalen at south-eastern side Jostedalsbreen ice cap in inner Sogn, western Norway. A newly exposed ~2.8-m-high section southern riverbank Langedøla river shows alternating layers minerogenic sediments peat with tree logs, identified as Salix sp. The is situated distal part built out from...

The stratigraphic architecture of Early Jurassic strata exposed along a >10 km long transect in the Chachil Graben, an exhumed marine rift depocentre Neuquén Basin (Argentina), provides insights into sedimentological and expression syn-rift to post-rift transition. A change from intrabasinal carbonate extrabasinal siliciclastic sedimentation is recorded, as well variations sediment supply dispe...
