Clinoforms are inclined and normally basinward-dip** horizons developed over a range
of spatial and temporal scales in both siliciclastic and carbonatic systems. The study of …

Shoreline and shelf‐edge trajectories describe the migration through time of sedimentary
systems, using geomorphological breaks‐in‐slope that are associated with key changes in …

Using modern and ancient examples we show that river-dominated deltas formed in shallow
basins have multiple coeval terminal distributary channels at different scales. Sediment …

Shelf-margin or shelf-edge deltas are a common constituent of Quaternary shelves, where
their genetic link to falling and lowstand sea level has been well established, but they are …

The most widely used, although not as widely documented, explanation for initiation of
turbidites is the conversion of catastrophic sediment failures into turbidites. Such …

Deformations formed in unconsolidated sediments are known as soft-sediment deformation
structures. Their nature, the time of their genesis, and the state in which the sediments …

Deep-lacustrine transformation of sandy debrites into turbidites in the downslope direction is
evident in the Upper Triassic Yanchang Formation of the Ordos Basin, central China. This …

Hyperpycnal flows originate when sediment-laden fluvial discharges enter standing, lower-
density water. Because of their excess density, the flows plunge near the river mouth and …

Despite the obvious importance of sediment supply to shelf-margin architecture and to the
potential of margins to contain and bypass deep-water sands, the role of supply in shelf …

Sea-level shift from the innermost shelf out to the shelf edge produces bayhead, inner-shelf,
mid-shelf, and shelf-margin deltas. We suggest that these delta types are distinguishable in …
