Coastal fluvial and deltaic deposits are locally incomplete recorders of elapsed time, but
where detailed three-dimensional stratigraphic geometries can be constructed from well …

Previous geologic research on Holocene Mississippi River deltaic deposits has verified that
the present delta plain and associated nearshore barrier islands and submarine shoals are …

Sets of deltas, depositionally related to the ancient fluvial deposits, represent the early and
late Wisconsinan regressive cycles. Deltaic deposition during a eustatic sea level fall that …

An investigation of the late Pleistocene-Holocene stratigraphy of the coast and inner
continental shelf in the area surrounding the modern Brazos Delta indicates that …

Using modern and ancient examples we show that river-dominated deltas formed in shallow
basins have multiple coeval terminal distributary channels at different scales. Sediment …

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 …

Over the last century, the river-dominated Mississippi delta has received increasing attention
from geoscientists, biologists, engineers, and environmental planners because of the …

During the stepped fall of eustatic sea level from oxygen isotope stage 5 to the latest glacial
maximum (oxygen isotope stage 2, approximately 18 ka), the Mobile River (possibly joined …

Deposits of lowstand deltas formed on the floor of the Cretaceous Interior seaway of North
America are found in the Cenomanian, lower Belle Fourche Member of the Frontier …

Before publication of Fisk's classic scientific papers dealing with the Mississippi River
alluvial valley and deltaic plain, geological knowledge of the Holocene deltaic plain was the …
