A novel mixing mechanism in sinuous seafloor channels: Implications for submarine channel evolution (2017)
Journal Article
Dorrell, R. M., Peakall, J., Burns, C., & Keevil, G. M. (2018). A novel mixing mechanism in sinuous seafloor channels: Implications for submarine channel evolution. Geomorphology, 303, 1-12. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.geomorph.2017.11.008

Previous experimental studies of density currents in sinuous seafloor channels have almost exclusively studied hydrodynamics either by considering time independent, instantaneous, flow measurements or by compiling time-averaged flow measurements. Her... Read More about A novel mixing mechanism in sinuous seafloor channels: Implications for submarine channel evolution.

Novel 3D sequence stratigraphic numerical model for syn-rift basins : analysing architectural responses to eustasy, sedimentation and tectonics (2017)
Journal Article
Barrett, B., Hodgson, D. M., Collier, R., & Dorrell, R. (2018). Novel 3D sequence stratigraphic numerical model for syn-rift basins : analysing architectural responses to eustasy, sedimentation and tectonics. Marine and Petroleum Geology, 92, 270-284. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.marpetgeo.2017.10.026

Syn-rift clastic sedimentary systems preserve a complicated stratigraphic architecture that records the interplay of tectonics, eustatic sea level and storage and routing of sediments. Previous conceptual models describe and explain changes in deposi...

A 3D forward stratigraphic model of fluvial meander-bend evolution for prediction of point-bar lithofacies architecture (2017)
Journal Article
Yan, N., Mountney, N. P., Colombera, L., & Dorrell, R. M. (2017). A 3D forward stratigraphic model of fluvial meander-bend evolution for prediction of point-bar lithofacies architecture. Computers & geosciences, 105, 65-80. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.cageo.2017.04.012

© 2017 Elsevier Ltd Although fundamental types of fluvial meander-bend transformations – expansion, translation, rotation, and combinations thereof – are widely recognised, the relationship between the migratory behaviour of a meander bend, and its r...
