Modeling Sedimentation on the Continental Margin

Abstract

We propose to develop a 3-level system of numerical models. We propose to build a boundary layer sedimentation model (Resuspension-Bioturbation Model (level 1), incorporate the Resuspension-Bioturbation Model as the 'driving element' in a 2-D, cross-shelf Facies Model (level 2), and Develop a time-averaged, cross-margin sediment transport model in which the morphodynamics of the continental margin surface is reproduced(Sequence Stratigraphic model (level 3).
