Grain size from source to sink–modern and ancient fining rates

T Reynolds - Earth-Science Reviews, 2024 - Elsevier
A unique synthesis of grain size-distance data is presented, comparing, for the first time,
grain size and fining trends in a wide range of modern and ancient axial sediment dispersal …

Autogenic formation of bimodal grain size distributions in rivers and its contribution to gravel‐sand transitions

C An, G Parker, JG Venditti, MP Lamb… - Geophysical …, 2024 - Wiley Online Library
Riverbeds often fine downstream, with a gravel‐bedded reach, a relatively abrupt gravel‐
sand transition (GST), and a sand‐bedded reach. Underlying this behavior, bed grain size …

The roles of geometry and viscosity in the mobilization of coarse sediment by finer sediment

MA Hassan, G Parker, Y Hassan, C An, X Fu… - Proceedings of the …, 2024 - pnas.org
In rivers, the addition of finer sediment to a coarser riverbed is known to increase the mobility
of the coarser fraction. Two mechanisms have been suggested for this: a geometric …
