Seascape evolution on clastic continental shelves and slopes

Book section · January 1, 2009 The morphology of clastic continental margins directly reflects their formative processes. These include interactions between plate movements and isostasy, which establish the characteristic stair-step shape of margins. Other factors are thermal and loadin ... Cite

Prediction of margin stratigraphy

Book section · January 1, 2009 A new generation of predictive, process–response models provides insight about how sediment-transport processes work to form and destroy strata, and to influence the developing architecture along continental margins. The spectrum of models considered in th ... Cite

The long-term stratigraphic record on continental margins

Book section · January 1, 2009 Processes that build continental-margin stratigraphy on time-scales of > 20 kyr have been investigated. Eustatic sea-level exerts a major influence on sedimentation, but the Eel River margin shows that its effects can be interwoven with those of tectonism. ... Cite
