Hydrodynamic Stability, Sediment Flux, and Facies Formation in the Clastic Intertidal Wedge, West Coast of South Korea

这项研究将使潮滩的垂直加积 韩国西部，这可能提供了一个很好的模拟， 前寒武纪和下古生界的古泥滩序列。 现场计划，包括流速计和取芯 业务，将重点放在以下目标：1）测试 潮汐通道长期稳定性受 潮周期和季节时间尺度的海底输运过程 边界层; 2）记录沉积物之间的净通量 潮汐通道系统和邻近的泥滩; 3）确定 物理过程与生成岩性之间的关系 和结构保存在沉积柱中。

This proposed study will the vertical accretion of tidal flats off western South Korea, which may provide an excellent analog for ancient mudflat sequences in the PreCambrian and lower Paleozoic. The field program, involving both current meter and coring operations, will focus on the following objectives: 1) test the hypothesis that long-term tidal channel stability is controlled by tidal-cycle and season time-scale transport processes in the bottom boundary layer; 2) document the net flux of sediment between the tidal channel systems and adjacent mudflats; 3) determine the relationship between physical processes and the resultant lithology and structure preserved in the sediment column.
