Quantitative analysis of channel characteristics of distributive fluvial systems
Sedimentology, Volume 73, Issue 5, Page 1606-1630, August 2026.ABSTRACT Distributive fluvial systems (DFSs) are characterised by a radial distributive channel pattern in planform and dominate modern‐day sedimentary basins. Where aggradation occurs, such as in sedimentary basins, there is increased preservation potential, and therefore, DFSs are hypothesised to constitute a significant portion of the continental ...
