An important discussion has recently called the attention of sedimentologists and
geomorphologists to the dominant fluvial styles preserved in the geological record. While …

Alluvial and fluvial fans are the most widespread depositional landforms bordering the
margins of long-lived highland regions and actively subsiding continental basins, across a …

In an earlier book, The Geology of Fluvial Deposits (1996), I set out in detail modern
methods of facies and architectural analysis of fluvial deposits, and used numerous case …

This study examines 130 case examples from 60 desert regions to propose a generalised
framework to account for the diverse types of interaction known to exist between active …

Since tectonic subsidence in sedimentary basins provides the potential for long-term facies
preservation into the sedimentary record, analysis of geomorphic elements in modern …

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 …

Big rivers dominate the world's continental surface, yet we are still learning about how they
operate and whether they are explicably different, not only from each other, but also from …

Recent analysis of modern aggradational continental sedimentary basins reveals that
sedimentation patterns are dominated by distributive fluvial systems (DFSs). The Salt Wash …

Recent work indicates that most modern continental sedimentary basins are filled primarily
by distributive fluvial systems (DFS). In this article we use depositional environment …

This paper evaluates the recent claim made by Weissmann et al.(2010) that deposits of
“Distributive Fluvial Systems”(DFS) may form the bulk of the continental fluvial record …
