The three-dimensional geometry of fluvial channel bodies and valley fills has received much
less attention than their internal structure, despite the fact that many subsurface analyses …

A quantitative comparison of 20 literature case studies of fluvial sedimentary successions
tests common assumptions made in published models of alluvial architecture concerning (1) …

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 …

ABSTRACT The Fall River Formation is a 45 m thick layer of fluvialdominated valleyfills
and shorezone strata deposited on the stable cratonic margin of the Cretaceous Western …

Since tectonic subsidence in sedimentary basins provides the potential for long-term facies
preservation into the sedimentary record, analysis of geomorphic elements in modern …

A primary objective in exploration for and development of fluvial reservoirs is determining
the thickness and width of sandstone-conglomerate bodies (mainly channel-belt deposits) …

The distribution of channel deposits in alluvial basins is commonly used to interpret past
changes in climate, tectonics, and sea level. Here we present preliminary evidence that long …

This paper evaluates the recent claim made by Weissmann et al.(2010) that deposits of
“Distributive Fluvial Systems”(DFS) may form the bulk of the continental fluvial record …

The effects of downstream base-level control on fluvial architecture and geometry are well
explored in several broadly similar sequence-stratigraphic models. Cretaceous Dakota …

Present models of river sedimentation are based largely on a classification of the
geomorphology of presentday river channel patterns. The classes are difficult to apply with …
