The stratigraphic record is the primary archive of Earth’s past surface processes. Stratigraphic architectures in clastic sedimentary systems are fundamentally a response to geometries and kinematics of sedimentary surfaces during times of active sedimentation and erosion. My overarching research goals in this dissertation revolve around developing models for quantitative reconstruction of surface process conditions from stratigraphic archives. This dissertation specifically addresses individual components of forward and inverse model approaches for two stratigraphic problems. The first component of this dissertation focuses on determining controls on preservation of shoreline trajectories in deltaic stratigraphy, using geometry and kinematics of delta surfaces. This component also describes stratigraphic completeness of two-dimensional trajectories of delta shorelines in comparison to one-dimensional stratigraphic column completeness. This study provides novel conceptual insights into the dimensional dependence of stratigraphic completeness. The second component of this dissertation focuses on developing a series of forward models between the dynamics of fluvial sediment transport and the kinematics of bed forms in sand bed rivers using both theoretical and empirical relationships. The third component presents an inverse model for determining bed load sediment transport rates from remotely sensed data, as well as from fluvial deposits. This inverse model combines previously published models with an empirical model for reach slope correlated bed form velocity presented in the second part of the dissertation. The fourth component focuses on combining forward models relating sediment hydrodynamics, kinematics of bed forms, and curvature of cross set bounding surfaces in order to approach an inverse model for extracting flow and sediment dynamics from bed form cross strata. This final component employs a large amount of new and compiled data to both evaluate the validity of proposed forward models and develop a stratigraphic inverse solution.

This unparelleled reference synthesizes the methods used in microfacies analysis and details the potential of microfacies in evaluating depositional environments and diagenetic history, and, in particular, the application of microfacies data in the study of carbonate hydrocarbon reservoirs and the provenance of archaeological materials. Nearly 230 instructive plates (30 in color) showing thin-section photographs with detailed explanations form a central part of the content. Helpful teaching-learning aids include detailed captions for hundreds of microphotographs, boxed summaries of technical terms, many case studies, guidelines for the determination and evaluation of microfacies criteria, for enclosed CD with 14000 references, self-testing exercises for recognition and characterization skills, and more

Understanding basin-fill evolution and the origin of stratal architectures has traditionally been based on studies of outcrops, well and seismic data, studies of and inferences on qualitative geological processes, and to a lesser extent based on quantitative observations of modern and ancient sedimentary environments. Insight gained on the basis of these studies can increasingly be tested and extended through the application of numerical and analogue forward models. Present-day stratigraphic forward modelling follows two principle lines: 1) the deterministic process-based approach, ideally with resolution of the fundamental equations of fluid and sediment motion at all scales, and 2) the stochastic approach. The process-based approach leads to improved understanding of the dynamics (physics) of the system, increasing our predictive power of how systems evolve under various forcing conditions unless the system is highly non-linear and hence difficult or perhaps even impossible to predict. The stochastic approach is more direct, relatively simple, and useful for study of more complicated or less-well understood systems. Process-based models, more than stochastic ones, are directly limited by the diversity of temporal and spatial scales and the very incomplete knowledge of how processes operate and interact on the various scales. The papers included in this book demonstrate how cross-fertilization between traditional field studies and analogue and numerical forward modelling expands our understanding of Earth-surface systems.

Paralic reservoirs reflect a range of depositional environments including deltas, shoreline–shelf systems and estuaries. They provide the backbone of production in many mature basins, and contribute significantly to global conventional hydrocarbon production. However, the range of environments, together with relative sea-level and sediment supply changes, result in significant variability in their stratigraphic architecture and sedimentological heterogeneity, which translates into complex patterns of reservoir distribution and production that are challenging to predict, optimize and manage. This volume presents new research and developments in established approaches to the exploration and production of paralic reservoirs. The 13 papers in the volume are grouped into three thematic sections, which address: the sedimentological characterization of paralic reservoirs using subsurface data; lithological heterogeneity in paralic depositional systems arising from the influence of tidal currents; and paralic reservoir analogue studies of modern sediments and ancient outcrops. The volume demonstrates that heterogeneity in paralic reservoirs is increasingly well understood at all scales, but highlights gaps in our knowledge and areas of current research.
