...Shihao Liu; John A. Goff; Wei Feng; Yan Liu; Xin Shan; Weifen Hu; Yufeng Chen; Ya Ping Wang Abstract The transition between a tide-dominated estuary and a tide-dominated delta, which is observed in modern settings and repeatedly throughout the geologic record, is a critical process...

... foreland. The tide-generated ridges and swales of the estuary-mouth shoal are normal to shore. As the shoal is traced seaward into the shoal-retreat massif, ridge-and-swale orientations rotate until they trend across the massif, parallel to shore. This change in orientation suggests that as the shoreline...

... streams alluviated their entrenched valleys. Sedimentation in these valleys did not keep pace with rising sea-level and consequently the lower parts of the entrenched valleys were drowned to form a series of estuaries. The bay shoreline of Texas originated during this stage. During the standing sea-level...

Their distribution is controlled by the wave regime, although they are also influenced by tidal and fluvial...

.... The hydrographic regime is mixed energy, with a tidal range of 1–2 m and mean significant wave heights of roughly 1 m. The shelf generally is classified as storm dominated. Terrigenous sediment supply to the shelf is minimal because of trapping of sediment in estuaries and lagoons ( Clarke et al., 1983...

In response to this increase in accommodation space, a broad, shallow estuary formed that most likely extended westward at least as far as the San Bernardo belt. A transgressive systems tract was deposited...

Bathymetric surveys, side-scan-sonar sonograms, grain-size trends of surficial sediment, and 2DH numerical simulations of current patterns were used to define a conceptual model for the dynamics of this sandbar. The sandbar is oriented anticlockwise...

... suggests an eastward drift ( Bhattacharya and Giosan 2003 ), which we cannot confirm with paleocurrents from the storm-wave dominated deltas because their hummocks and swales prevent paleocurrent analysis. It is interesting to note, however, that the estuary sandstones overlying the deltas show an E...
