Predictions of a delta's morphology, facies, and stratigraphy are typically derived from its
relative wave, tide, and river energies, with sediment type playing a lesser role. Here we test …

There is a pressing need to understand how different delta morphologies arise because
morphology determines a delta's ecologic structure, resilience to relative sea‐level rise, and …

Depositional facies in deltaic sediments result from interacting dynamic processes (climate,
hydrologic characteristics, wave energy, tidal action, etc.) which modify and disperse …

Process-physics-based, coupled hydrodynamic–morphodynamic delta models are
constructed to understand preserved facies heterogeneities that can influence subsurface …

The morphologies of the world's deltas are thought to be determined by river discharge, tidal
range and wave action. More recently, sea-level rise, and human engineering have been …

Among tidally influenced sedimentary environments, tide-dominated deltas are perhaps the
most variable and difficult to characterize. This variability is due in part to the major role that …

Steep-fronted Gilbert-type deltas are common features of tectonically active settings, as well
as of physiographic settings where accommodation is dictated by landforms with steeply …

Changes in depositional patterns of a river-dominated delta that occur during multiple scales
of sea-level change are linked to variations in reservoir quality using a physics-based flow …

Cohesive sediment exerts a significant influence on delta evolution, increasing shoreline
rugosity and decreasing channel mobility. Vegetation has been assumed to play a similar …

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 …
