Buffered, incomplete, and shredded: The challenges of reading an imperfect stratigraphic record

KM Straub, RA Duller, BZ Foreman… - Journal of Geophysical …, 2020 - Wiley Online Library
Climate, tectonics, and life influence the flux and caliber of sediment transported across
Earth's surface. These environmental conditions can leave behind imprints in the Earth's …

Evidence for enhanced fluvial channel mobility and fine sediment export due to precipitation seasonality during the Paleocene-Eocene thermal maximum

EA Barefoot, JA Nittrouer, BZ Foreman… - …, 2022 - pubs.geoscienceworld.org
Abstract The Paleocene-Eocene thermal maximum (PETM) was the most extreme example
of an abrupt global warming event in the Cenozoic, and it is widely discussed as a past …

Sedimentary processes and the temporal resolution of sedimentary strata

EA Barefoot, JA Nittrouer… - Geophysical Research …, 2023 - Wiley Online Library
An appealing strategy for reconstructing the timing and tempo of paleoenvironmental
change from sedimentary strata is to linearly interpolate between marker beds of known age …

The lithofacies organization of fluvial channel deposits: a meta-analysis of modern rivers

L Colombera, NP Mountney - Sedimentary Geology, 2019 - Elsevier

Non‐monotonic floodplain responses to changes in flooding intensity

EA Barefoot, JA Nittrouer… - Journal of Geophysical …, 2021 - Wiley Online Library
Overbank flooding is common along most rivers, and it influences the dispersal of sediment
to floodplains. While variable discharge is a critical aspect of fluvial landscape evolution, it is …

Secondary geomorphic processes and their influence on alluvial fan morphology, channel behavior and flood hazards

LT Vincent, BC Eaton, AS Leenman… - Journal of Geophysical …, 2022 - Wiley Online Library
Alluvial fans form through primary and secondary geomorphic processes. Primary processes
comprise major geomorphic events that build the fan by transporting sediment from the …

Modeling the dynamic response of river deltas to sea‐level rise acceleration

J Hariharan, P Passalacqua, Z Xu… - Journal of …, 2022 - Wiley Online Library
Climate change is raising sea levels across the globe. On river deltas, sea‐level rise (SLR)
