Empirical relations among hydrologic and sediment characteristics of alluvial channels and
channel morphology have been developed by geomorphologists and hydrologists. Recently …

Holocene fan-delta systems form along narrow coastal plains in close proximity to high-relief,
relatively young mountains. Fan morphology is best developed along microtidal coastal …

Several of the concepts of sequence-stratigraphic models were tested by experiments in a
large flume. Using different gradients for successive runs, a physical model of a fluvial …

Fan deltas have been defined as alluvial fans that prograde into a standing body of water
from an adjacent highland. Most large Holocene fan deltas are located at the edge of active …

Architecture of recent channel-belt deposits of the Niobrara River, northeast Nebraska, USA,
records the response of a sandy braided river to rapid base-level rise. Up to 3 m of …

Valleys are formed by both erosional and tectonic forces, although the former is the most
common. Most valleys form by channel incision, and they follow an evolutionary sequence of …

We present an adaptive fast multipole method for solving the Poisson equation in two
dimensions. The algorithm is direct, assumes that the source distribution is discretized using an …

The sequence stratigraphic model with its initial emphasis on eustatically driven controls on
sedimentary sequences has generated considerable interest in the ultimate controls on …

The idea that local social capital yields economic benefits is fundamental to theories of
agglomeration, and central to claims about the virtues of cities. However, this relationship has not …

The vertical succession of sedimentary structures and textures at Galveston Barrier Island,
Texas, is identical with vertical successions in two ancient barrier complexes, one in the …
