MonographDOI
Depositional Environments as Interpreted from Primary Sedimentary Structures and Stratification Sequences
TL;DR: In this paper, the use of primary sedimentary structures and stratification sequence as tools for interpretation of depositional environment of clastic sediments is discussed, emphasizing advances in understanding that the authors judge to be important.
Book
Mechanics of sediment movement
TL;DR: A discussion of a few topics central to a physical understanding of the mechanics of sediment movement can be found in this paper, including theories for the prediction of bed-load and suspended-load discharge.
MonographDOI
Structures and Sequences in Clastic Rocks
TL;DR: In this paper, a course on the use of primary structures and stratification sequence as tools for interpretation of depositional environments is presented, where the emphasis is at the scale of features and sequence that can commonly be observed in individual outcrops or cores.
Journal ArticleDOI
Bed configuration in steady unidirectional water flows; Part 2, Synthesis of flume data
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors use a three-axis graph with dimensionless measures of mean flow depth, mean flow velocity, and sediment size along the axes to develop the best approximation to the relationships among bed phases produced by flows of water over loose sediments.
Journal ArticleDOI
Accretion of Mudstone Beds from Migrating Floccule Ripples

TL;DR: Using flume experiments, it is found that the bedload transport and deposition of clay floccules occurs at flow velocities that transport and deposit sand, which suggests an underlying universal process.
