Sentence examples for sediment facies from inspiring English sources
The presented formulation is able to reproduce both the cross-shore profile and the distribution of sediment facies in time.
On the basis of sediment facies and modeling, the group demonstrated that the sediments were deposited in a freshwater environment, a result confirming that the subglacial meltwater network was active during the last glacial period.
Submarine landscape and sediment distribution patterns represented by five acoustic facies types represent glaciomarine sediment facies types that are related to variations in the past position and relative motion of the glacier front.
We present lake sediment facies descriptions based on data from sediment cores from two thermokarst lakes of medium depth, Claudi and Jaeger (informal names), which formed in previously non thermokarst-affected upland yedoma on the northern Seward Peninsula, Alaska.
Sediment facies and their succession combined with AMS 14C dating revealed that isochron lines cross unit boundaries clearly, and delta progradation has occurred since about 6000 to 7000 years BP, when the rising sea level neared or reached its present position.
