Processes and Signatures of Sediment Supply, Redistribution, and Accumulation on an Accretionary Continental Margin

摘要

The long-term goal of this project is to determine what sedimentary processes are important in the formation and development of the continental margin in an accretionary system. To this end, I am examining the rates and products of slope sedimentary processes that contribute to redistribution and accumulation of sedimentary material. Thus, this project is examining distinct slope sedimentary environments to determine rates of sediment accumulation on a variety of timescales and is examining the preserved record of these processes in the sediment column.
