First-generation sequence stratigraphic models have dealt in a very rudimentary fashion
with the response of fluvial systems to eustasy. A major element of presently accepted …

Base‐level changes occur over a broad range of time‐scales and may result from several
interacting factors. As a result, relative sea‐level has changed considerably over geological …

The currently used model for alluvial sequence stratigraphy has been criticised (Miall, 1991)
and an alternative model is offered here. In this model alluviation mainly takes place during …

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

A critical question in sequence stratigraphy is whether or not a falling or lowered sea level
will cause a river or delta distributary channel to incise and thus help to initiate an Exxon …

Models are conceptions of physical reality that result in qualitative or quantitative
predictions. This simple deWnition masks the fact that the complexity of natural systems …

The alluvial and morphologic details of drainage systems are much too complex to be
explained by progressive erosion alone. Within the constraints of the erosion cycle these …

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 …

Three-dimensional seismic data enable geoscientists to image the stratigraphic record
along selected stratal or time slices. These slices provide detailed images of the planform …

Results obtained during 20 yr of experimental research at Colorado State University (CSU)
provide partial answers to questions posed by the conveners of this symposium on the …
