Tidal river dynamics: Implications for deltas
Tidal rivers are a vital and little studied nexus between physical oceanography and
hydrology. It is only in the last few decades that substantial research efforts have been …

Paleovalley systems: insights from Quaternary analogs and experiments
Ancient fluvial valley systems are long recognized as important features in the stratigraphic
record, but emerged as a specific focus of attention with publication of first-generation …

Amplification of downstream flood stage due to damming of fine-grained rivers
River dams provide many benefits, including flood control. However, due to constantly
evolving channel morphology, downstream conveyance of floodwaters following dam …

The role of discharge variability in the formation and preservation of alluvial sediment bodies
Extant, planform-based facies models for alluvial deposits are not fully fit for purpose,
because they over-emphasise plan form whereas there is little in the alluvial rock record that …

The Mississippi River source-to-sink system: Perspectives on tectonic, climatic, and anthropogenic influences, Miocene to Anthropocene
Abstract The Mississippi River fluvial–marine sediment-dispersal system (MRS) has become
the focus of renewed research during the past decade, driven by the recognition that the …

Buffered, incomplete, and shredded: The challenges of reading an imperfect stratigraphic record
Climate, tectonics, and life influence the flux and caliber of sediment transported across
Earth's surface. These environmental conditions can leave behind imprints in the Earth's …

Dynamics of river mouth deposits
Bars and subaqueous levees often form at river mouths due to high sediment availability.
Once these deposits emerge and develop into islands, they become important elements of …

Backwater and river plume controls on scour upstream of river mouths: Implications for fluvio‐deltaic morphodynamics
Sediment flux from rivers to oceans is the fundamental driver of fluvio‐deltaic
morphodynamics and continental margin sedimentation, yet sediment transport across the …

Sand as a stable and sustainable resource for nourishing the Mississippi River delta
Abstract The Mississippi River delta is undergoing a catastrophic drowning, whereby 5,000
km2 of low-lying wetlands have converted to open water over at least the past eight …

Stratigraphy and paleohydrology of delta channel deposits, Jezero crater, Mars
The Jezero crater open-basin lake contains two well-exposed fluvial sedimentary deposits
formed early in martian history. Here, we examine the geometry and architecture of the …
