Climate change, sea-level change, and fluvial sediment supply to deepwater depositional systems

MD Blum, J Hattier-Womack - 2009 - pubs.geoscienceworld.org
Deepwater depositional systems are in most cases ultimately fed by rivers that deliver
sediment from the hinterland to the continental margin. Fluvial systems therefore provide the …

Where and why do submarine canyons remain connected to the shore during sea‐level rise? Insights from global topographic analysis and Bayesian regression

A Bernhardt, W Schwanghart - Geophysical Research Letters, 2021 - Wiley Online Library
