Fluvial-Tidal Sedimentology provides information on the
'Tidal-Fluvial Transition', the transition zone between river and
tidal environments, and includes contributions that address some of
the most fundamental research questions, including how the
morphology of the tidal-fluvial transition zone evolves over short
(days) and long (decadal) time periods and for different tidal and
fluvial regimes, the structure of the river flow as it varies in
its magnitude over tidal currents and how this changes at the
mixing interface between fresh and saline water and at the
turbidity maximum, the role of suspended sediment in controlling
bathymetric change and bar growth and the role of fine-grained
sediment (muds and flocs), whether it is possible to differentiate
between 'fluvial' and 'tidally' influenced bedforms as preserved in
bars and within the adjacent floodplain and what are the diagnostic
sedimentary facies of tidal-fluvial deposits and how are these
different from 'pure' fluvial and tidal deposits, amongst other
topics. The book presents the latest research on the processes and
deposits of the tidal-fluvial transition, documenting recent major
field programs that have quantified the flow, sediment transport,
and bed morphology in tidal-fluvial zones. It uses description of
contemporary environments and ancient outcrop analogues to
characterize the facies change through the tidal-fluvial
transition.
