Evolution of Fine-Grained Sediment Deposits Over Moderate to Long Time Scales
1998
Wiberg, Patricia
My long-term goal within the STRATAFORM program is to increase our understanding of the processes controlling the formation, reworking and preservation of event-scale stratigraphy on the continental shelf. The objectives of this project for FY98 have been to: (1) participate in the analysis and interpretation of the bottom boundary layer field studies; (2) test and apply a 2-dimensional, time-dependent model of shelf sediment transport to investigate the importance of advection and flux divergence to event bed formation and the emplacement of flood deposits; and (3) incorporate flocculation effects into the shelf sediment transport model and evaluate the importance of this process to storm-driven transport.
