Abstract: Abstract of thesis entitled 'Sediment Flux through the Yellow River Sediment Routing System' Submitted by SHI Changxing for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at The University of Hong Kong in August 2002 Sediment fluxes through riverine sediment routing systems are one of the main causes for many environmental problems and disasters, to which the effective solutions should be based on quantification of the sediment fluxes and clarification of related mechanisms. This study probed into the sediment fluxes through one of the largest riverine sediment routing systems in the world, the Yellow River sediment routing system, in a spatial detail of four basic functional cells and on time scales of 0 4 10 -10 years. Investigation of the sediment fluxes was carried out through construction of sediment budgets of the system mainly based on information derived from deposits in the sinks and records of sediment load, and through analyzing some important mechanisms for the characteristics of the constructed sediment fluxes in the system. The dry bulk densities of deposits in various depositional environments in the system were investigated for acquiring reliable sediment budgets from deposits. The sediment budget for about 10 years when the Diaokouhe lobe of the Yellow River delta was formed was 14.510 tones of sediment income distributed into the lower Yellow River, the delta, and the sea by proportions of 33%, 49%, and 18%, respectively. The high proportion of sediment deposition in the delta was associated with the high sediment-sequestering efficiency of the ephemeral sediment-charged hyperpycnal underflows off the river mouth and floods over the delta plain because these two processes tend to arrest all the incoming fine as well as coarse particles. A positive relation exists between the proportion of sediment deposited in the deltaic lobe and sediment discharge. The amount of sediment escaping from the delta displays an exponentially decreasing trend with the distance from the delta front. 11 The sediment budget for the period from 1855 to 1968 was 1.87810 tons of sediment income deposited in the lower reaches and the river delta by proportions of 62% and 32%, respectively. The larger proportion of sediment deposition in the lower reaches was associated with the nonexistence of dykes during the period from 1855 to 1875 and the frequent dyke breaching before 1949. It was found that the percentages of sediment deposition in the delta on two time scales are different because the expanding delta captures the sediments, which were deposited in front of the delta in the earlier periods. The total sediment yield from the source in the Holocene was found to be about 12 810 tons, which was the total mass of sediments accumulated in all the sinks of the system. Using radiocarbon dates in the Huang-Huai-Hai Plain, it was revealed 9 that the annual sediment yield on a 2500-year average increased from 0.6810 tons 9 in the first quarter to 1.0110 tons in the last quarter of the Holocene. Furthermore, it was disclosed that human activities enlarged the sediment yield by a total of about 12 0.310 tons over the past 2500 years and were the cause for the difference between 9 the measured sediment yield of 1.610 t/yr and the predicted natural sediment yield 9 of 0.9510 t/yr in the middle of the last century.

Book Synopsis Landscape Evolution by : Kerry Gallagher
Download or read book Landscape Evolution written by Kerry Gallagher and published by Geological Society of London. This book was released on 2008 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The morphology of Earth's surface reflects the interaction of climate, tectonics and denudational processes operating over a wide range of spatial and temporal scales. These processes can be considered catastrophic or continuous; depending on the timescale of observation or interest. Recent research had required integration of historically distinct subjects such as geomorphology, sedimentology, climatology and tectonics. Together, these have provided new insights into absolute and relative rates of denudation, and the factors that control the many dynamic processes involved. Specific subject areas covered are sediment transport processes and the timescales of competing processes, the role of the geological record and landscapes in constraining different processes, the nature of landscape evolution at different spatial scales and in contrasting geological environments.

Download or read book Basin Analysis written by Philip A. Allen and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2013-05-30 with total page 645 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Basin Analysis is an advanced undergraduate and postgraduate text aimed at understanding sedimentary basins as geodynamic entities. The rationale of the book is that knowledge of the basic principles of the thermo-mechanical behaviour of the lithosphere, the dynamics of the mantle, and the functioning of sediment routing systems provides a sound background for studying sedimentary basins, and is a pre-requisite for the exploitation of resources contained in their sedimentary rocks. The third edition incorporates new developments in the burgeoning field of basin analysis while retaining the successful structure and overall philosophy of the first two editions. The text is divided into 4 parts that establish the geodynamical environment for sedimentary basins and the physical state of the lithosphere, followed by a coverage of the mechanics of basin formation, an integrated analysis of the controls on the basin-fill and its burial and thermal history, and concludes with an application of basin analysis principles in petroleum play assessment, including a discussion of unconventional hydrocarbon plays. The text is richly supplemented by Appendices providing mathematical derivations of a wide range of processes affecting the formation of basins and their sedimentary fills. Many of these Appendices include practical exercises that give the reader hands-on experience of quantitative solutions to important basin analysis processes. Now in full colour and a larger format, this third edition is a comprehensive update and expansion of the previous editions, and represents a rigorous yet accessible guide to problem solving in this most integrative of geoscientific disciplines.

Book Synopsis Sediment Routing System Response to Tectonic Activity in the Argentine Precordillera by : Ingrid Syverine Abrahamson
Download or read book Sediment Routing System Response to Tectonic Activity in the Argentine Precordillera written by Ingrid Syverine Abrahamson and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page 190 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Alluvial fan deposition in the Argentine Central Precordillera is part of a sediment routing system that changes along strike of an active thrust front. This study area is partitioned into erosional and depositional sectors for analysis. The erosional sector drainage basins are analyzed using topographic data from a digital elevation model, to see how morphology changes with fault displacement. Drainage basins become shorter with more displacement. The depositional sector alluvial fans are classified using spectral characteristics from satellite imagery. The fans are classified based on thermal, near infrared, and elevation parameters. Fans close to the thrust front are interpreted to be old sheetflood deposits, with younger fans more distal from the front in the foreland. In this setting, progressive fault displacement causes shortening of the erosional sector, increasing the efficiency of sediment evacuation from the range, and causing a progradation of sheetflood fans into the foreland basin. Remote sensing analysis techniques are useful for characterizing the sediment routing system of alluvial systems where field-based information (geodetic, seismic, structural and lithologic data) is not available.
Book Synopsis Analogue and Numerical Modelling of Sedimentary Systems by : Poppe de Boer
Download or read book Analogue and Numerical Modelling of Sedimentary Systems written by Poppe de Boer and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2009-01-26 with total page 328 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Understanding basin-fill evolution and the origin of stratal architectures has traditionally been based on studies of outcrops, well and seismic data, studies of and inferences on qualitative geological processes, and to a lesser extent based on quantitative observations of modern and ancient sedimentary environments. Insight gained on the basis of these studies can increasingly be tested and extended through the application of numerical and analogue forward models. Present-day stratigraphic forward modelling follows two principle lines: 1) the deterministic process-based approach, ideally with resolution of the fundamental equations of fluid and sediment motion at all scales, and 2) the stochastic approach. The process-based approach leads to improved understanding of the dynamics (physics) of the system, increasing our predictive power of how systems evolve under various forcing conditions unless the system is highly non-linear and hence difficult or perhaps even impossible to predict. The stochastic approach is more direct, relatively simple, and useful for study of more complicated or less-well understood systems. Process-based models, more than stochastic ones, are directly limited by the diversity of temporal and spatial scales and the very incomplete knowledge of how processes operate and interact on the various scales. The papers included in this book demonstrate how cross-fertilization between traditional field studies and analogue and numerical forward modelling expands our understanding of Earth-surface systems.

Sample topics covered in Sedimentary Petrology include: Advances in modeling and programming to simulate depositional-diagenetic conditions and controls which support field-lab descriptions and interpretations Ocean acidification and the demise of coral reefs, and the role of the oceans in carbon capture and storage Sedimentary ironstones and iron-formations, sedimentary phosphate deposits, coal, oil shale and petroleum, and cherts and siliceous sediments Limestones, evaporites, volcaniclastic sediments, sandstones, conglomerates, breccias, and the effects of microplastics on marine organisms Aimed at undergraduates in geology and earth science, Sedimentary Petrology is an excellent teaching and learning resource for introductory courses in sedimentary rocks.
Book Synopsis Tectonics of Sedimentary Basins by : Cathy Busby
Download or read book Tectonics of Sedimentary Basins written by Cathy Busby and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2011-12-07 with total page 1034 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Investigating the complex interplay between tectonics and sedimentation is a key endeavor in modern earth science. Many of the world's leading researchers in this field have been brought together in this volume to provide concise overviews of the current state of the subject. The plate tectonic revolution of the 1960's provided the framework for detailed models on the structure of orogens and basins, summarized in a 1995 textbook edited by Busby and Ingersoll. Tectonics of Sedimentary Basins: Recent Advances focuses on key topics or areas where the greatest strides forward have been made, while also providing on-line access to the comprehensive 1995 book. Breakthroughs in new techniques are described in Section 1, including detrital zircon geochronology, cosmogenic nuclide dating, magnetostratigraphy, 3-D seismic, and basin modelling. Section 2 presents the new models for rift, post-rift, transtensional and strike slip basin settings. Section 3 addresses the latest ideas in convergent margin tectonics, including the sedimentary record of subduction intiation and subduction, flat-slab subduction, and arc-continent collision; it then moves inboard to forearc basins and intra-arc basins, and ends with a series of papers formed under compessional strain regimes, as well as post-orogenic intramontane basins. Section 4 examines the origin of plate interior basins, and the sedimentary record of supercontinent formation. This book is required reading for any advanced student or professional interested in sedimentology, plate tectonics, or petroleum geoscience.

Download or read book River Dynamics written by Bruce L. Rhoads and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2020-04-29 with total page 544 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rivers are important agents of change that shape the Earth's surface and evolve through time in response to fluctuations in climate and other environmental conditions. They are fundamental in landscape development, and essential for water supply, irrigation, and transportation. This book provides a comprehensive overview of the geomorphological processes that shape rivers and that produce change in the form of rivers. It explores how the dynamics of rivers are being affected by anthropogenic change, including climate change, dam construction, and modification of rivers for flood control and land drainage. It discusses how concern about environmental degradation of rivers has led to the emergence of management strategies to restore and naturalize these systems, and how river management techniques work best when coordinated with the natural dynamics of rivers. This textbook provides an excellent resource for students, researchers, and professionals in fluvial geomorphology, hydrology, river science, and environmental policy.
