Dynamic Controls on Sediment Accumulation Rates on the Northern Californian Shelf

Abstract

The overall goal of this study is to illuminate links between short-term sedimentary processes and centennial-millennial timescale stratigraphy by quantifying sediment accumulation rates on the U.S. north Pacific shelf and relating observed sedimentation patterns to major hydrologic, oceanographic and tectonic gradients.
