... strata downdip, and expel salt into the Sable Slope Canopy. The outer shelf and slope region separating these two canopies is dominated by detachment systems. One term, the Sable Canopy Complex, was developed to describe both salt canopies and the zone of detachment that separates them. Interpretation...

... transport pathways of surface sand. A Holocene sand-ridge complex, the Sable Island Catena, extends 300 km across Sable Island Bank and Banquereau. This sand-ridge complex, which is up to 50 m thick, formed as a result of Holocene sediment transport on the outer banks and controls the modern-day...

... preserve a laterally accreting estuarine point-bar complex sharply overlying a fluvial dune succession, while sediments at the Amphitheatre outcrop are ascribed to a forward-accreting middle estuary compound dune complex that is truncated by an overlying IHS channel fill. The recognition of compound dunes...

... Cardium était composé d’un complexe de crêtes d’avant-plage émergée et de lagons, dominé par la dérive littorale. Au large du rivage, le sable semble avoir été dispersé surtout par des courants géostrophiques coulant parallèles au rivage. Les suits de zone littorale ne fournissent aucune preuve de la...

... (Gething Formation), to a brackish bay system (Ostracode Zone), and finally into a marginal marine estuarine complex (Bluesky Formation). Exploitable bitumen reserves at Peace River are contained predominantly within the 15 - 20 m thick estuarine sands of the Bluesky Formation. Where combined...

... en intercalations argileuses, demeurent non-cimentés et préservent une porosité primaire modeste. L’exploration de complexes de cônes de déjection semblables en géométrie et composition à ceux de la Marnoso-arenacea visera donc les épais sables superposés des chenaux et des faciès de lobes; les...

... behind an extensive set of shoreface-detached ridges. At the margin of the barrier system, longshore transport produced a submarine spit complex that migrated northward with the barrier system but did not produce significant ridge-type shelf sands. Sable Island Bank illustrates the importance of sea...

...CARL L. AMOS; ANN A.L. MILLER Abstract Three boreholes, ten vibrocores, and high-resolution seismic reflection records were analyzed to reconstruct the stratigraphy of the topmost 50 m of the sedimentary column of southwest Sable Island Bank. The sequence is complex owing to the effects of two low...

... and complexity affects waveforms in NEUS . We begin by describing the regional geology, the existing published 1D velocity models used in this study, and the Au Sable Forks earthquake. Next, we describe the procedure to generate the synthetic seismograms, including the determination of the earthquake...

...David J. McLean; Eric W. Mountjoy ABSTRACT The upper Devonian (Frasnian) Burnt Timber embayment forms an eight-km wide re-entrant along the northeastern margin of the Fairholme reef complex. It is bounded to the northwest and southeast by buildup margins assigned to the upper Cairn and Peechee...

... zero to over 40 m. The lateral and vertical relationships of the Kakwa Member are complex because it is interpreted to the be “parent shoreface” for the upward-coarsening Nosehill, Bickerdike and Hornbeck members, which comprise the laterally equivalent offshore facies sequences. The latter three...

... ( Beresnev and Atkinson, 2002 ), thus suggesting significant source complexity for the Au Sable event. We can write the observed earthquake spectrum as: (2) \batchmode \documentclass[fleqn,10pt,legalpaper]{article} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amsmath} \pagestyle{empty...

...Eric L. Hoogendoorn; Robert W. Dalrymple Abstract An extensive complex of shoreface-connected ridges is present around Sable Island, near the outer edge of the Canadian east coast shelf. Two orders of ridges occur: the larger, first-order ridges are longer, wider, and higher than ridges along...

... of Michigan in the southeastern corner of Lake Superior between rock-anchored Au Sable Point to the west and the sand/gravel strandplain complex of Whitefish Point to the east ( Fig. 2 ). The study area contains a transition between bedrock-dominated topography to one dominated by glacial, coastal, and eolian...

... into the lower, middle, and upper members, representing deposition in fluvial, estuarine, and deltaic environments, respectively. The middle McMurray Formation hosts the majority of bitumen reserves and features complex internal geometry. It has been interpreted to be deposited as a series of large, tidally...

...P.-A. Bourque; G. Amyot; A. Desrochers; H. Gignac; C. Gosselin; G. Lachambre; J.-Y. Laliberté ABSTRACT Although the Silurian and lowermost Devonian sequence of the Gaspé Basin in Quebec belongs to a siliciclastic sedimentary province, reef and carbonate complexes occur at three distinct...

... shoreface complexes in the Hoadley area. Lithic channels followed similar trends to a feldspathic shoreface complex in the Drayton Valley area. RÉSUMÉ Une série de systèmes de chenaux du membre Glauconitic, et post-Glauconitic ou “lithiques”, à été cartographiée sur une grande étendue dans le sud de...

... termed the Appalachian ice complex, shifted in a clockwise manner across the varied bedrock terranes of the region, producing cross-striated bedrock outcrops and compositionally distinct till sheets on land. Offshore glacial sediments can be correlated to their terrestrial counterparts on the basis...

...John C. Hopkins; Don C. Lawton; Jack D. Gunn ABSTRACT A Lower Mannville valley complex cut into ?Jurassic and Mississippian strata in southeastern Alberta was identified on a conventional seismic section. The valley was drilled and a twenty metre core of muddy sandstone was recovered from...

... Largo Formation represents a shallow-water complex of “shelf-margin” reefs and sand localized along a topographic break in slope. The conspicuous absence of the reef-building coral Acropora palmata , common to so many Holocene and other Pleistocene reefs, can be reasonably attributed to environmental...
