Continental-Margin Processes Recorded in Shelf and Canyon Sediments. Sediment Deposition, Erosion and Accumulation on a Tidal Flat Adjacent to a River Mouth
2007
Nittrouer, Charles A.
The ultimate goal of the work in the Gulf of Lions is to understand the relationships between sediment transport and accumulation in shelf and slope environments, and how they lead to the formation and preservation of sedimentary strata in the seabed. The goal of the tidal-flats project during the first year was to help plan a DRI study of Korean and US intertidal sedimentation. The objectives of research during FY07 were to: (1) complete lab analyses and write papers about: Rhone flood deposits, the Gulf of Lions mid-shelf mud deposit, off-shelf transport, and submarine-canyon sedimentation: (2) publish the STRATAFORM Master Volume (results are summarized under Work Completed); and (3) help with planning the Tidal Flats DRI (results are summarized under Work Completed).
