Wetlands as environments of early human occupation: A new classification for freshwater palaeowetlands

open access: yesThe Depositional Record, EarlyView.
A new classification for inland freshwater palaeowetlands to be used in the field or core laboratory by sedimentologists, providing examples from the Guadix Basin (southern Spain). Abstract Present wetlands have proven to be delicate, biodiverse ecosystems, that are natural sinks for CO2 and act as good indicators for climate changes.

Modern and ancient tidal sedimentary systems in the era of energy transition: Introduction to the special volume of The Depositional Record

open access: yesThe Depositional Record, EarlyView.
This volume examines tidal sedimentary systems through 11 articles, spanning ancient and modern tidalites, technological advances and implications for human management. Highlighting contributions from Tidalites 2022 and beyond, it underscores tidalites' significance in sedimentology, environmental forecasting and energy transition, reflecting decades ...

Fifty years of research on the Joulters ooid sandbody—Impact on carbonate sedimentology and diagenesis and lessons learned from an invaluable analogue

open access: yesThe Depositional Record, EarlyView.
The Joulters ooid sandbody of northern Great Bahama Bank is a vast expanse of muddy ooid sands partly rimmed by clean ooid sands and formed into a relatively thick layer of significant extent. Knowledge of the development of depositional and diagenetic patterns in the Joulters example has forwarded our general understanding of carbonate sedimentology ...

Bahaman patch reefs: Numerous and neglected

open access: yesThe Depositional Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Phanerozoic patch reefs are extensively studied because they are abundant and are potential reservoirs for valuable fluids. In contrast, geologic studies of modern reefs have largely focused on platform margins, leaving patch reefs comparatively neglected. What conditions favour patch‐reef development?

Water pathways and ancient lakes: Flowing towards new models to unravel the past

open access: yesThe Depositional Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Significant progress has been made in understanding lake basin evolution through climatic and tectonic changes using sedimentology, sequence stratigraphy, geochemistry, hydrology and watershed characteristics to interpret three main lake basin types: overfilled, balanced‐fill and underfilled, including fluvio‐lacustrine systems.

Untangling sedimentation processes in a deep fjord lake in Labrador: A high‐resolution archive of past environment dynamics at Grand Lake

open access: yesThe Depositional Record, EarlyView.
Sedimentological and geochemical characteristics are used to reconstruct sedimentation dynamics and erosional processes. Several rapidly deposited layers are characterised over changing depositional environments during the Late Holocene, from a phase when the lake was connected to the sea to a more stable state conducive to varve formation.
