Formation and Characteristics of Storm-generated Event Beds on the Continental Shelf: Evidence from Shelf Transport Models

Abstract

My long-term objective within the STRATAFORM program is to investigate the processes forming finescale stratigraphy on the continental shelf on time scales from single events to hundreds of year and to develop, test, and apply shelf sediment transport models incorporating the important processes to predict event bed stratigraphy on these time scales.
