Use of forward stratigraphic modelling for the detection of sub-seismic scale heterogeneities in shallow marine environments

Cuesta Cano, A. (author), Karimzadanzabi, A. (author), Storms, J.E.A. (author), Rongier, G. (author), Martinius, A.W. (author)

Many stratigraphic features occur at a scale that is at the edge or below vertical seismic resolution. Thus, they cannot be directly observed in the seismic data, while still having an important effect on the fluid flow within the system. The better understanding of these sub-seismic scale features or heterogeneities can help decrease subsurface...

Valencia, A.A. (author), Storms, J.E.A. (author), Walstra, D.J.R. (author), van der Vegt, Helena (author), Jagers, Hendrik R.A. (author)

In natural deltaic settings, mixed hydrodynamic forcings and sediment properties are known to influence the preserved delta deposits. One process that has not received much attention yet is syn-sedimentary compaction of clastic sediment on millennial-scale delta evolution. To study how compaction interacts with delta morphodynamics and...

Evaluating alluvial stratigraphic response to cyclic and non-cyclic upstream forcing through process-based alluvial architecture modelling

Wang, Y. (author), Storms, J.E.A. (author), Martinius, A.W. (author), Karssenberg, Derek (author), Abels, H.A. (author)

Formation of alluvial stratigraphy is controlled by autogenic processes that mix their imprints with allogenic forcing. In some alluvial successions, sedimentary cycles have been linked to astronomically-driven, cyclic climate changes. However, it remains challenging to define how such cyclic allogenic forcing leads to sedimentary cycles when...

Predictable patterns in stacking and distribution of channelized fluvial sand bodies linked to channel mobility and avulsion processes

Sahoo, H. (author), Gani, M. Royhan (author), Gani, Nahid D. (author), Hampson, Gary J. (author), Howell, John A. (author), Storms, J.E.A. (author), Martinius, A.W. (author), Buckley, Simon J. (author)

Despite the importance of channel avulsion in constructing fluvial stratigraphy, it is unclear how contrasting avulsion processes are reflected in stratigraphic-stacking patterns of channelized fluvial sand bodies, as a proxy for how river depocenters shifted in time and space. Using an integrated, geospatially referenced, three-dimensional...

Self-constraining of low-energy rivers explains low channel mobility and tortuous planforms

Candel, Jasper H.J. (author), Makaske, Bart (author), Kijm, Niels (author), Kleinhans, Maarten G. (author), Storms, J.E.A. (author), Wallinga, Jakob (author)

Meandering rivers are abundant on Earth, from the largest rivers to the smallest tributaries. The classical view of meandering rivers is a sinuous planform with rounded bends, which grow and migrate until they are cut-off. However, many low-energy meandering rivers have planforms that are much more complex than this classical view due to the...

Modelling orbital climate signals in fluvial stratigraphy

Wang, Y. (author), Abels, H.A. (author), Storms, J.E.A. (author), Martinius, A.W. (author)

There are certain orbital cycles influencing the relative position and location of the earth towards the sun, resulting in the cyclic insolation received on the earth, which causes climate changes and subsequent environmental response in the catchment, including precipitation, temperature, and vegetation, and so on. Furthermore, such catchment...

In deltaic deposits, the largest volumes of sandy deposits occur at the delta top (as channel accretion, overbank deposits) and as distinct or amalgamated sandy mouth bars in the upper delta front. We use process-based models to study the sediment distribution in four evolving deltas, each with a different input sediment profile. We show how the...

Modelling astronomical climate signals in fluvial stratigraphy

Wang, Y. (author), Storms, J.E.A. (author), Martinius, A.W. (author), Abels, H.A. (author)

Orbital climate forcing is demonstrated to result in cyclic changes as reflected in the catchment, including precipitation, temperature, vegetation, sediment supply and water discharge. All of these are known to largely impact alluvial architecture. Climate change related to the 21-kyr precession cycle was proposed as driver of regularly...
