Upland Migration of Coastal Marshes as a Response to Sea Level Rise and Fire Management: Past, Present, and Predicted
… open water. Marshes can respond to SLR through landward migration when suitable habitat is available. My research focuses on the landward migration pattern and mechanisms. I evaluated the historical land cover changes at the Grand Bay National Estuarine Research Reserve and the Pascagoula River …

Long and Short-Term Morphologic Evolution and Stratigraphic Architecture of a Transgressive Tidal Inlet, Little Pass Timbalier, Louisiana
… River delta plain have resulted in rapid landwardmigration of barrier island and tidal inlet systems. Moreover, ongoing conversion of back barrier and interior wetlands to open water increases tidal exchange. Enlarging tidal prisms, together with the landward migration of the barrier …

The Sequence Stratigraphic Context of Mixed Basin Margin Evaporites in the Harrisburg Member of the Permian Kaibab Formation, Northern Arizona and Southern Utah
… H2, and have a stacking pattern indicative of a landward migration of facies with gypsum and red siltstone facies overlain by a shallow-marine wackestone - packstone. The Permo-Triassic Unconformity truncates the Harrisburg Member and represents a major sequence boundary SB2 separating it from …

INTERNAL FACIES ARCHITECTURE OF A REGRESSIVE TO TRANSGRESSIVE WAVE-DOMINATED DELTA IN THE UPPER CRETACEOUS EAGLE FORMATION, SOUTH-CENTRAL MONTANA
… and 2) a transgressive phase characterized by landward dipping proximal to distal shoal overwash fan deposits derived from combined-flow storm-generated turbidity currents. A maximum regressive surface (MRS) separates underlying prograding deltaic deposits from downlapping shoal overwash fan …

Evolution and Architecture of an Incised Valley in the Upper Cretaceous Eagle Formation in South-Central Montana
… seasonal fluctuations in fluvial discharge and landward migration of the turbidity maximum, producing a flood-dominated mud-rich central valley deposit, and 3) deceleration in the rate of relative sea level rise marked by a depositional shift to tidally influenced fluvial deposition, extensive …

Relative sea-level rise and the development of channel-fill and shallow-water sequences on Cape Cod, Massachusetts
… rise continued, the coastline was driven landward over regions within the paleo-channels that formerly accommodated marsh and embayment sedimentation. The landward migration of the coastline was indicated by beach and barrier facies that covered the fine grained coastal embayment …

Three-dimensional thermo-mechanical modeling of deformation at plate boundaries : case study San Andreas Fault System
… terranes towards the Pacific plate and the landward migration of the San Andreas plate boundary. One of the theories suggests that the Pacific plate first cools and captures the uprising mantle in the slab window, and then it causes the accretion of the continental crustal blocks. The …
