The “unreasonable effectiveness” of stratigraphic and geomorphic experiments

C Paola, K Straub, D Mohrig, L Reinhardt - Earth-Science Reviews, 2009 - Elsevier
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

KM Straub, C Paola, D Mohrig… - Journal of …, 2009 - pubs.geoscienceworld.org
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

AD Wickert, JM Martin, M Tal, W Kim… - Journal of …, 2013 - Wiley Online Library
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

A Bufe, JM Turowski, DW Burbank… - Earth Surface …, 2019 - Wiley Online Library
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 …
