Marine Sedimentation Systems
Mission
The sedimentary history of coasts, shelves and continental slopes are dynamically linked to each other due to their adjacency along the general material pathway from land to ocean. Our research focuses on the external forces and internal processes, which have control on transport modes, patterns of deposition, and residence times in each of these marginal marine sedimentation systems and aims to identify linkages between them.
We focus particularly on:
* Shallow-water sediment transport processes
* Depositional source-to-sink linkages, shelf-break interface
* Facies models and environmental changes
* Evolution of shorelines and deltas
* Development of confined depocenters
* Incised valley fills
* Sea-level history
* Deposition at continental slopes driven by gravity or contour-currents
* Paleoceanographic and climatic forcing in sedimentary systems
* Stratigraphy and architecture of continental margins
