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 …

Deltas are discrete shoreline protuberances formed where a river enters a standing body of
water and supplies sediments more rapidly than they can be redistributed by basinal …

It has been more than a decade since the appearance of the First Edition of this book. Much
progress has been made, but some controversies remain. The original ideas of Sloss and of …

Nonrenewable energy resources, comprising fossil fuels and uranium, are not ran domly
distributed within the Earth's crust. They formed in response to a complex array of geologic …

Submarine landslides can be tremendous in scale. They are one of the most important
processes for global sediment fluxes and tsunami generation. However, studies of …

The continental margin off the Niger Delta is undergoing deformation by gravity tectonism
caused by rapid seaward sediment progradation. Three regional structural styles are …

ABSTRACT The northwest Gulf of Mexico Cenozoic sedimentary wedge illustrates the
application of genetic stratigraphic sequence analysis and documents several general …

ABSTRACT Interpretations of 35,000 km (21,900 mi) of single-channel, high-resolution,
seismic profiles traversing the continental shelf and upper continental slope of the northwest …

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 …

ABSTRACT Early Eocene successions from Spitsbergen and offshore Ireland, showing well‐
developed shelf‐margin clinoforms and a variety of deepwater sands, are used to develop …
