Lecture notes on Geomorphology & Stratigraphy¶
Fig. 1 Stream power law model of river incision on a generic landscape experiencing differential rainfall and uplift.
Note
Analysing landscapes and earth surface processes that shape them in different environments with an emphasis on planetary and regional-scale controls.
Earth surface processes¶
- Tectonics, passive margins & dynamic topography
- Hillslope processes
- Fluvial sediment transport
- Fluvial landforms & hierarchical organisation
- Glacial geomorphology
- Aeolian environments
- Surface processes model
Fig. 68 Generated 2D cross-section of a deltaic system under the influence of long-term sea-level change.
Note
Focussing on source-to-sink systems and sedimentary basins evolution with practical applications to deltaic systems stratigraphy, stratal stacking patterns, shoreline trajectories and systems tracts.
