  • The Tide-Dominated Han River Delta, Korea

    Geomorphology, Sedimentology, and Stratigraphic Architecture

    by Don Cummings, Robert Dalrymple, Kyungsik Choi, Jaehwa Jin ...
    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 ... Read more

  • Continents and Supercontinents

    by John J. W. Rogers, M. Santosh ...
    To this day, there is a great amount of controversy about where, when and how the so-called supercontinents--Pangea, Godwana, Rodinia, and Columbia--were made and broken. Continents and Supercontinents frames that controversy by giving all the necessary background on how continental crust is formed, modified, and destroyed, and what forces move plates. It also discusses how these processes affect ... Read more
