Architecture of slopeand basin-floor-fan systems in growth-faulted subbasins along the south Texas Gulf Coast developed as a result of interplay between synsedimentary tectonics and sedimentation during third-order sea-level lowstands. These subbasins, or intraslope basins, have not been adequately explored for their slope and basin-floor-fan potential, as have the intraslope basins in salt-dom...

Pre-play signals which cost nothing are sometimes thought to be of no significance in interactions which are not games of pure common interest. We investigate the effect of pre-play signals in an evolutionary setting for Assurance, or Stag Hunt, games and for a Bargaining game. The evolutionary game with signals is found to have dramatically different dynamics from the same game without signals...

The use of gravels as syntectonic indicators of thrusting has recently been questioned by foreland-basin models that assign gravels to a post-thrusting interval of progradation, except in very proximal areas. On the basis of precise temporal control provided by magnetostratigraphically dated sections, the history of gravel progradation after a major thrusting and uplift event in the northwester...

A comprehensive case study of the coastal processes for Fortescue Inlet (New Jersey, USA) is presented with objective minimizing maintenance dredging navigational channel. This compares effectiveness both traditional sedimentation control structures and modified templates, including construction a new jetty, modification length orientation an existing use upland offshore deposition basins. The ...

a r t i c l e i n f o This study takes a comprehensive approach to characterizing the isolation sequence of Heimerdalsvatnet, a coastal lake in the Lofoten Islands, northern Norway. We use established methods and explore new techniques to assess changes in marine influence. Bathymetric and sub-bottom profiles were acquired to examine basin-wide sedimentation and a 5.8 m sediment core spanning t...
