One of the most dramatic events in river environments is the natural diversion, or avulsion, of
a channel across its floodplain. Though rarely witnessed, avulsions can cause massive …

The famous bone beds of the Morrison Formation, formed one hundred and fifty million
years ago and running from Wyoming down through the red rock region of the American …

The evidence for an ancient ocean in Mars' northern hemispheric basin during the
Noachian/Hesperian is contentious. Much of the work is based on the modern topography …

The timespan recorded in deposits from fluvial activity is a key gap in our understanding of
ancient environments on Earth and Mars. Because riverine sediment transport occurs under …

Presented here is a coupled model of the nonmarine fossil record, based on a geometric
model of deposition, a random-branching model of evolution, and an ecological model …

Sinuous ridges have been interpreted as evidence for ancient rivers on Mars, but relating
ridge geometry to paleo‐hydraulics remains uncertain. Three analog ridge systems from the …

Abstract The Cloverly Formation is an important geologic unit for understanding the
development of North American terrestrial landscapes and ecosystems, but the age of this …

This review presents the theoretical framework of the use of analogies in science, and within
the hydrocarbon industry in particular, and develops several approaches employed to study …

Abstract The Turonian‐Coniacian Smoky Hollow Member of the Straight Cliffs Formation in
the Kaiparowits basin of southern Utah records a stratigraphic transition from isolated fluvial …

Climate impact on alluvial organization owing to its control on water availability and
sediment delivery within the catchment, but temporal changes in stacking patterns are often …
