Fluvial-Tidal Sedimentology presents details at the ‘Tidal-Fluvial Transition', the transition region among river and tidal environments, and contains contributions that handle the most basic learn questions, together with how the morphology of the tidal-fluvial transition sector evolves over brief (days) and lengthy (decadal) time classes and for various tidal and fluvial regimes, the constitution of the river circulate because it varies in its value over tidal currents and the way this alterations on the blending interface among clean and saline water and on the turbidity greatest, the function of suspended sediment in controlling bathymetric switch and bar progress and the function of fine-grained sediment (muds and flocs), if it is attainable to tell apart among ‘fluvial’ and ‘tidally’ prompted bedforms as preserved in bars and in the adjoining floodplain and what are the diagnostic sedimentary facies of tidal-fluvial deposits and the way are those diversified from ‘pure’ fluvial and tidal deposits, among different subject matters.
The publication offers the newest learn at the tactics and deposits of the tidal-fluvial transition, documenting fresh significant box courses that experience quantified the circulation, sediment delivery, and mattress morphology in tidal-fluvial zones. It makes use of description of up to date environments and historical outcrop analogues to symbolize the facies swap during the tidal-fluvial transition.
- Presents the most recent results from contemporary, huge, built-in box courses in estuaries round the world
- Gives exact box descriptions (outcrop, borehole, center, modern sediments) of tidal-fluvial deposits
- Accesses new versions and validation datasets for estuarine techniques and deposits
- Presents descriptions of latest environments and old outcrop analogues to represent the facies swap in the course of the tidal-fluvial transition
