Three-dimensional model of alluvial stratigraphy; theory and applications

SD Mackey, JS Bridge - Journal of Sedimentary …, 1995 - pubs.geoscienceworld.org
A three-dimensional model of alluvial stratigraphy has been developed to simulate the
spatial distribution, proportion, and connectedness of coarse-grained channel-belt deposits …

A simulation model of alluvial stratigraphy

JS Bridge, MR Leeder - Sedimentology, 1979 - Wiley Online Library
The quantitative model presented simulates the development of a two‐dimensional alluvial
sedimentary succession beneath a floodplain traversed by a single major river. Several inter …

A revised alluvial stratigraphy model

JS Bridge, SD Mackey - Alluvial sedimentation, 1993 - Wiley Online Library
Quantitative models of alluvial stratigraphy have been widely used to interpret the
architecture of ancient alluvium. However, with few exceptions, these interpretations have …

Experimental test of tectonic controls on three-dimensional alluvial facies architecture

TA Hickson, BA Sheets, C Paola… - Journal of …, 2005 - pubs.geoscienceworld.org
In an extended series of papers by M. Leeder, JRL Allen, JS Bridge, J. Alexander, and
others, the depositional stacking patterns of channel-belt deposits were related to tectonic …

A theoretical study of fluvial sandstone body dimensions

JS Bridge, SD Mackey - The geological modelling of …, 1992 - Wiley Online Library
The geometry and distribution of channel‐belt sandstone bodies in alluvial deposits have
been simulated recently using stochastic models. These models are based on Monte Carlo …

Downstream changes in alluvial architecture; an exploration of controls on channel-stacking patterns

PL Heller, C Paola - Journal of Sedimentary Research, 1996 - pubs.geoscienceworld.org
Various, but related, models have been proposed to explain the architectural arrangement of
channel stacking patterns in avulsion-dominated alluvial sequences. The early models …

Basin-scale changes in floodplain paleosols: implications for interpreting alluvial architecture

MJ Kraus - Journal of Sedimentary Research, 2002 - pubs.geoscienceworld.org
Floodplain paleosols in time-equivalent strata of the Willwood For mation differ in terms of
paleodrainage and degree of pedogenic development. Ancient soils were more poorly …

Spatial variation of overbank aggradation rate and its influence on avulsion frequency

TE Törnqvist, JS Bridge - Sedimentology, 2002 - Wiley Online Library
River avulsions are commonly considered to be driven by the aggradation and growth of
alluvial ridges, and the associated increase in cross‐valley slope relative to either the down …

Towards the field classification of alluvial architecture or sequence

PF Friend - Modern and ancient fluvial systems, 1983 - Wiley Online Library
Present models of river sedimentation are based largely on a classification of the
geomorphology of present‐day river channel patterns. The classes are difficult to apply with …

Modeling fluvial erosion on regional to continental scales

AD Howard, WE Dietrich… - Journal of Geophysical …, 1994 - Wiley Online Library
The fluvial system is a major concern in modeling landform evolution in response to tectonic
deformation. Three stream bed types (bedrock, coarse‐bed alluvial, and fine‐bed alluvial) …
