The “unreasonable effectiveness” of stratigraphic and geomorphic experiments
The growth of quantitative analysis and prediction in Earth-surface science has been
accompanied by growth in experimental stratigraphy and geomorphology. Experimenters …

Compensational stacking of channelized sedimentary deposits
Compensational stacking, the tendency for sediment transport systems to preferentially fill
topographic lows through deposition, is a concept widely used in the interpretation of the …

River channel lateral mobility: Metrics, time scales, and controls
Alluvial river channels are intrinsically mobile. We mapped channel planform extent in a
series of experiments to measure instantaneous rates of channel motion, loss of planform …

Controls on the lateral channelmigration rate of braided channel systems in coarse noncohesive sediment
Lateral movements of alluvial river channels control the extent and reworking rates of
alluvial fans, floodplains, deltas, and alluvial sections of bedrock rivers. These lateral …

Prevalence of exponential bed thickness distributions in the stratigraphic record: Experiments and theory
Stratigraphy preserved in alluvial basins holds important information for reconstructing past
environmental conditions via inversion methodologies. In this paper we explore, through the …

Difficulties associated to the ultrasonic imaging of small scale models of stratigraphic deposits
Mechanical waves are commonly used on the characterization of geological systems. Highly
compacted real systems require low frequency waves on the order of tens of hertz. Tabletop …
