This book was released on 2012 with total page 144 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Shallow seas are influenced by a magnitude of processes, acting on- and offshore. Therefore, most inner continental shelf areas have a unique appearance. Sediments and morphological features preserve information both about the geologic history and recent processes. In this study, extensive hydroacoustic surveys, including side scan sonar, multibeam echo sounder, and reflection seismic measurements, as well as sedimentological analyses were carried out in the Fehmarn Belt (SW Baltic Sea, Germany) and offshore Khao Lak (Andaman Sea, Thailand) between 2007 and 2011. The geologic evolution of a drowned river system since the last glacial as well as recent sediment dynamics of a subaqueous dune field were investigated in Fehmarn Belt. Offshore Khao Lak, the impact of the 2004 Indian Ocean Tsunami was evaluated.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The world's continental shelves are the sites of vast resources of food, energy and minerals, the exploitation of which is continuously increasing. Fluctuating global sea levels throughout the Quaternary period produced multiple transgressive and regressive cycles that profoundly affected and shaped these shelves. The complex interactions among climate, sea level, tectonics, oceanography and sediment input have formed distinctive sediment packages on each shelf and provide a guide to the interpretation of older shelf sequences throughout the geological record. This Memoir compiles studies on 23 selected shelves from all the continents, focusing on their evolution and examining the patterns of sedimentation during the past approximately 125 000 years. In addition to providing basic background information for each area, the chapters consider specific aspects of continental shelf research, from seismic stratigraphy to geomorphology, from palaeoceanography to palaeo sea-level reconstruction and from palaeontology to geochemistry.

Download or read book Geologic Evolution of Atlantic Continental Rises written by C.W. Poag and published by Springer. This book was released on 1992-08-31 with total page 408 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Because of their great depth and distance from the shore, continental rises have been relatively insulated from geological explorations. Distinguished international experts offer new interpretations of continental-rise deposition at several different locations along the margins of the Atlantic Ocean in this volume. They provide findings generated by new measurement and imaging technology, complete with fold-out maps that display a panorama of erosional features for comparison with other ocean regions. New techniques for detecting and dating tectonic episodes that affect continental rise deposition will be especially useful to petroleum engineers involved in offshore oil exploration. Information is included on the role of massive slides in forming continental-rise deposits and interaction of sedimentation on modern continental rises.
Download or read book Morphodynamics Of Inner Continental Shelves written by L. D. Wright and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 1995-02-24 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This exciting new book discusses the morphodynamic processes that link coastal physical oceanography to the geomorphology and geologic evolution of inner continental shelves. Topics include: classical models of inner shelf or "shoreface" equilibrium the geological history of inner shelves inner shelf physical oceanography, bottom boundary layer dynamics on the inner shelf inner shelf sediment transport processes the development, maintenance, and evolution of inner shelf morphology Throughout the book, theories, concepts, and models are grounded by application to real-world examples. Specifically, comparsions are made among four cases: Middle Atlantic Bight, the Louisiana Shelf, the shelf off southeastern Australia, and the epicontinental shelf of the Gulf of Bohai, China.
