The Hadhramaut Group and the Fars Group are an assemblage of late Maastrichtian and Tertiary sediments, unconformably deposited on top of the allochthonous units (Stern and Johnson 2010) and forming the neoautochthonous sedimentary cover (termed post nappe unit in Fig. 1).
Sedimentary structures in terms of bedding, scour surface and stacking style of beds are interpreted from the image and open-hole logs.
Current approaches to modelling of surface processes treat the coupled evolution of source areas and sedimentary basins in terms of bulk mass transfer only, and do not take into account compositional and textural sediment properties.
Detailed investigation of the mixed sand-and-gravel beach-ridge plain on the Miquelon-Langlade Barrier (northwest Atlantic Ocean, south of Newfoundland) provides a better understanding of such sedimentary systems in terms of internal architecture, depositional processes and driving mechanisms.
The Mannar Basin is an under-explored offshore sedimentary basin in terms of petroleum geology.
Studies of the Earth's long-term sedimentary record for insights on changing paleo-environments.
Long-term sedimentary sequence research can reveal how human activities and climate interact to affect catchment vegetation, flooding, soil erosion, and sediment sources.
The properties of sedimentary rocks, in term of strength and deformation, are significant for various purposes in different fields such as in mine planning and design, reservoir stability evaluation, surface and sub-surface structure designs.
By contrast, repeated synchronous episodes of minor Cenozoic to Quaternary uplift occurred along the orthogonal-rifted North Kwanza segment with its Cenozoic aggradational architecture, short-term sedimentary gaps and low-elevation Pleistocene terraces.
The onshore Benguela transform margin has a distinctive, mainly progradational stratigraphic architecture with long-term sedimentary gaps and high-elevation marine terraces resulting from moderate Upper Cretaceous Cenozoic to major Quaternary uplifting (i.e. 775 1775 mm/ky or m/Ma).
