Depositional model of fluvial deltaic architecture of braided stream deposits walker and cant, 1984. Profusely illustrated and with an extensive reference to. Tectonic and climatic controls of fluvial sedimentation and the effects of baselevel change on sequence architecture are discussed. The thick and sometimes stacked and amalgamated sandstones of the bridgeport channel facies could have formed in such an environment. Fluvial depositional systems electronic resource in. Fluvial environments include braided and meandering river and stream systems. The depositional action of a stream is influenced by stream velocity and the volume of river load.
Fluvial systems are extremely susceptible to a range of environmental factors. From depositional systems to sedimentary successions on. A read is counted each time someone views a publication summary such as the title, abstract, and list of authors, clicks on a figure, or views or downloads the fulltext. Pointbars are typically composed of sands, gravel, silts, and clay deposits, that form arcuate, meanderscroll ridges. Analysis on the porosity logs density, neutron, sonic, and shear, which are highly influenced by depositioncomposition and texture, has shown that the exponent is about the same for fluvial deposits at both well locations, while it is different for aeolian deposits. Depositional and groundwater flow systems of the carrizoupper wilcox, south texas downloadable pdf. The sequence stratigraphy of fluvial depositional systems. The book summarizes methods of mapping and interpretation of fluvial depositional systems, with a detailed treatment of the tectonic, climatic and eustatic controls on fluvial depositional processes. Fluvial depositional landforms types of deltas pmf ias. From depositional systems to sedimentary successions on the norwegian continental margin. His main interests are in clastic sedimentology and stratigraphy of fluvial and shallow marine systems, faunasubstrate relationships, and static and dynamic reservoir characterization for hydrocarbon production. If the river car ries significant quantiti es of sediment, this material can act as tools. The decrease in stream velocity reduces the transporting power of the streams which are forced to leave some load to settle down. It focuses on the preserved, ancient depositional record and emphasizes largescale basinscale depositional processes.
