The “unreasonable effectiveness” of stratigraphic and geomorphic experiments

C Paola, K Straub, D Mohrig, L Reinhardt - Earth-Science Reviews, 2009 - Elsevier
The growth of quantitative analysis and prediction in Earth-surface science has been
accompanied by growth in experimental stratigraphy and geomorphology. Experimenters …

Experimental alluvial fans: Advances in understanding of fan dynamics and processes

LE Clarke - Geomorphology, 2015 - Elsevier
Alluvial fans are depositional systems that develop because of a disparity between the
upstream and downstream sediment transport capacity of a system, usually at the base of …

Rollover, drowning, and discontinuous retreat: Distinct modes of barrier response to sea‐level rise arising from a simple morphodynamic model

J Lorenzo‐Trueba, AD Ashton - Journal of Geophysical …, 2014 - Wiley Online Library
We construct a simple morphodynamic model to investigate the long‐term dynamic
evolution of a coastal barrier system experiencing sea‐level rise. Using a simplified barrier …

Autocyclic behaviour of fan deltas: an analogue experimental study

M Van Dijk, G Postma, MG Kleinhans - Sedimentology, 2009 - Wiley Online Library
Fan deltas are excellent recorders of fan‐building processes because of their high
sedimentation rate, particularly in tectonically active settings. Although previous research …

Autogenic avulsion, channelization and backfilling dynamics of debris‐flow fans

T de Haas, W van den Berg, L Braat… - …, 2016 - Wiley Online Library
Alluvial fans develop their semi‐conical shape by quasi‐cyclic avulsions of their
geomorphologically active sector from a fixed fan apex. On debris‐flow fans, these quasi …

Dynamic controls on erosion and deposition on debris-flow fans

P Schürch, AL Densmore, NJ Rosser… - …, 2011 - pubs.geoscienceworld.org
Debris flows are among the most hazardous and unpredictable of surface processes in
mountainous areas. This is partly because debris-flow erosion and deposition are poorly …

Sequence stratigraphy of experimental strata under known conditions of differential subsidence and variable base level

J Martin, C Paola, V Abreu, J Neal… - AAPG …, 2009 - pubs.geoscienceworld.org
Sequence stratigraphy has been applied from reservoir to continental scales, providing a
scale-independent model for predicting the spatial arrangement of depositional elements …

The pulse of calm fan deltas

W Kim, DJ Jerolmack - The Journal of Geology, 2008 - journals.uchicago.edu
At the heart of interpreting the history of Earth surface evolution preserved in the rock record
is distinguishing environmental (allogenic) forcing from internally generated …

Small is beautiful: Upscaling from microscale laminar to natural turbulent rivers

L Malverti, E Lajeunesse… - Journal of Geophysical …, 2008 - Wiley Online Library
The use of microscale experimental rivers (with flow depths of the order of a few millimeters)
to investigate natural processes such as alluvial fans dynamics, knickpoints migration, and …

Autogenic dynamics of alluvial fans in endorheic basins: outcrop examples and stratigraphic significance

D Ventra, GJ Nichols - Sedimentology, 2014 - Wiley Online Library
Alluvial fans are relatively simple depositional systems, due to the direct coupling of
sediment sources and adjacent accumulation areas. Nonetheless, general models of …
