This axial fluvial system flowed generally to the south, and ultimately merged with another confined fluvial system incised into the basement carbonates to the southwest.
Within fluvial systems, channel belts and floodplains (sites of deposition of both clastic and phytogenic material) environments coexisted.
In all three basins, this mudstone-dominated interval passes into sandstonedominated sediments of a braided fluvial system.
Architectural-element analysis: a new method of facies analysis applied to fluvial deposits.
Thermoerosion is thought to be an important initial factor to weaken the sediment sufficiently to allow fluvial erosion to take place.
Simulating the development of martian highland landscapes through the interaction of impact cratering, fluvial erosion, and variable hydrologic forcing.
Glacial drift, both as till and fluvial deposits, is a major contributor to a variety of both micro- and macro-landforms.
Is it intended to help the geologist to show his survey director how he can develop a fluvial landscape history?
