Carbonate Depositional Environments

1983
For more than 100 years geologists have been ex amining and describing modern sediments with an eye toward using characteristic features to aid in the interpretation of depositional settings of ancient strata. This field of interest developed particularly during the 1950s and 1960s with the creation of detailed models for modern carbonate deposition in

Neritic Depositional Environments

2010
The southern continental margin of Australia today has been much the same throughout the late Cenozoic and so the Holocene depositional system is a continuation of one that has been in place for ~2 my. It has been dominated by strong SW winds that drive high-energy waves and swells directly onto exposed coasts.

Environment of Sediment Deposition

2017
Grain size of sediments relates to the physical characteristics of the depositional environments. The distribution of sediment grain size is affected by the variations of wave energy and turbulent conditions of depositing environment. Linear Discriminate Analysis (LDA) technique and bi-variate plotting of grain size parameters are used to explain and ...
