An important discussion has recently called the attention of sedimentologists and
geomorphologists to the dominant fluvial styles preserved in the geological record. While …

This paper evaluates the recent claim made by Weissmann et al.(2010) that deposits of
“Distributive Fluvial Systems”(DFS) may form the bulk of the continental fluvial record …

Since tectonic subsidence in sedimentary basins provides the potential for long-term facies
preservation into the sedimentary record, analysis of geomorphic elements in modern …

Abstract Analysis of more than 700 modern continental sedimentary basins that are both
endorheic (internally drained) and exorheic (externally drained) and cover a wide range of …

Fluvial depositional patterns in modern continental sedimentary basins from different
tectonic settings are dominated by distributive fluvial systems (DFSs). A review of satellite …

Weissmann et al.(2010) discuss what they term “distributary fluvial systems”(DFS) to address
a key question in the earth sciences: what modern systems are appropriate analogues to the …

Big rivers dominate the world's continental surface, yet we are still learning about how they
operate and whether they are explicably different, not only from each other, but also from …

An analysis of remotely sensed imagery reveals that fluvial planform geometries within
aggrading continental areas are dominated by distributive fluvial systems (DFSs). We …

The period since the 1960s witnessed significant progress in our ability to decipher the
clastic rock record from a wide range of sedimentary environments, and spanning many …

Recent work indicates that most modern continental sedimentary basins are filled primarily
by distributive fluvial systems (DFS). In this article we use depositional environment …
