Emplacement of submarine landslides, or mass-transport deposits, can radically reshape the physiography continental margins, and strongly influence subsequent sedimentary processes dispersal patterns. Typically, progressive healing complicated relief generated by landslide occurs prior to progradation systems. However, subsurface seabed examples show that channels incise directly into landslide...

Despite their discontinuous occurrence and poor preservation, knowledge about Triassic carbonates from North America has increased considerably during recent years. Their characterization represents a unique way to better assess evolution recovery of the biosphere after major Permo-Triassic biological crisis in Panthalassa Ocean. The Eastern Klamath terrane, located Northern California, is key ...

Fault-controlled mixed siliciclastic-carbonate-evaporite depositional systems exhibit distinct sensitivity to tectonic and eustatic controls that are expressed in the sedimentary architecture. In Upper Carboniferous Billefjorden Trough (Svalbard, Norway), up 2,000 m of a warm arid climate syn-rift basin fill comprises such systems, documented this study with traditional field techniques support...

Hyperpycnal flows have been widely described in different lacustrine and marine environments but sedimentary structures fossil content hyperpycnites often offer limited information about the palaeoenvironmental conditions. This limitation can be improved by ichnological analysis, which has recently used as a tool to differentiate between type of subaqueous deposits, even though still only few d...

In recent years, coastal areas have been threatened by many potential hazards due to global warming, glacier melting and sea level rise. Understanding their evolutionary history development trends can help predict disasters further reduce the corresponding losses. The Hanjiang River delta in southeastern part of China is second largest Guangdong Province has such challenges. Studying sedimentar...

Atolls are faithful recorders helping us understand eustatic variations, the evolution of carbonate production through time, and changes in magmatic hotspots activity. Several early Cretaceous Mid-Pacific atolls were previously investigated ocean drilling, but due to low quality vintage seismic data available, few spatial constraints exist on their stratigraphic large-scale diagenesis. Here, we...

Abstract. Barrier coasts, including barrier islands, beach-ridge plains, and associated landforms, can assume a broad spectrum of morphologies over multi-decadal scales that reflect conditions sediment availability, accommodation, relative sea-level rise. However, the quantitative thresholds these controls on barrier-system behavior remain largely unexplored, even as modern rise anthropogenic m...

Abstract The concept of coastal sediment compartments has recently been adopted at a national scale in Australia to better understand and shoreline dynamics underpin management future behaviour response impacts climate change. Geomorphological studies southern NSW have provided foundation for development conceptual models estuary sandy barrier evolution. Geochronological reconstructions using r...
