Ocean Coasts and Continental Shelves

2007
Suess (1900) provided the first scientific treatment of the South American coast from a tectonic perspective when he distinguished between the Atlantic and Pacific structural styles on opposite sides of the continent. Inman and Nordstrom (1971) later complemented this approach by relating these styles to the concepts of plate tectonics that had emerged

AAPG Bulletin, 1950
ABSTRACT Some students of continental shelves consider the shore line which bounds the shelf toward the land as a hinge line, the landward side uplifted, and the shelf area downwarped with extensive sedimentation. The writer presents another theory, that the shore line is not the locus of any movement, but that the continental shelf ...

The Gulf of Cadiz continental shelves

2014
The continental shelves fringing the Gulf of Cádiz are shallow-water environments of high scientific interest as they record the complex interplay between competing sedimentary, tectonic and oceanographic processes. These shelves receive the contributions of fluvial sources of varying significance, evolving laterally to shelf segments dominated by a ...

Sedimentary Dynamics of Continental Shelves--A Symposium

1981
Abstract : The purpose of this symposium was 'to document new and innovative research which expands the boundaries of knowledge about shelf processes and sedimentary response.' Thirty-six papers were presented in five half-day sessions. Participating scientists were from laboratories around the world, and represented a range of oceanographic and ...
