EuroSTRATAFORM Numerical Modeling Study of Shelf Stratigraphy and Sedimentation.

摘要

The scientific objective of the work is to develop a quantitative understanding of the processes that control the formation of marine stratigraphy over time scales ranging from decades to millennia. This work is based on the creation and application of a series of advanced numerical models representing the dynamics of marine sediment transport, sediment accumulation, morphological change and feedback between the evolving sea floor and the hydrodynamic forcing. Field data are used to both force the models and to verify their results. The models are used to diagnose complex systems and as predictive tools.
