The Impact of River Basin Size on the Distribution and Character of Preserved Strata: A Comparison of the Po and Apennine Systems

Abstract

The ultimate objective of this research program is to obtain a predictive understanding of the physical and biological processes responsible for the formation, alteration and preservation of sedimentary signals on continental margins. The general approach is to use focused field observations and measurements to develop and test hypotheses.
