Advancing Predictive Models of Marine Sediment Transport Over Intermediate to Long Time Scales

Abstract

My long-term goal within the STRATAFORM program has been to increase our understanding of the processes controlling the formation, reworking and preservation of event-scale stratigraphy on the continental shelf. My primary goal in the last phase of STRATAFORM was to extend our capability for modeling shelf sediment transport to time scales appropriate for models of the geologic evolution of continental margins (e.g., SEDFLUX and SEQUENCE).
