The Tide-Dominated Han River Delta provides a thorough analysis of
a river delta in which tidal currents have reworked the river-borne
sediment, generating characteristic geomorphological and
sedimentological signatures in the process. Such "tide-dominated"
deltas are common in the modern ocean, forming the substrate upon
which entire populations are built. Furthermore, ancient examples
contain enormous volumes of hydrocarbon. Despite this,
tide-dominated deltas remain less well understood than their wave-
and river-dominated counterparts, largely because processes within
them are inherently more complex and fewer modern examples have
been investigated in detail. This multi-year study by a team of
experts in coastal geoscience represents the most complete
documentation of a tide-dominated delta to date. Results help
advance, and are applicable to, a broad range of fields within
sedimentary geology, including clastic sedimentology, seismic and
sequence stratigraphy, and coastal geomorphology, in addition to
petroleum geology and reservoir engineering.
