Planktonic foraminiferal shells are widely used to investigate past oceanographic and climatic variations via their trace elements and stable isotopes. However, these geochemical methods may be compromised by the presence of diagenetic high‐Mg calcite. In this study, dolomite crystals are observed in planktonic foraminifera from International Ocean Discovery Program Site U1464 sediments on the Australian Northwest shelf, a shallow marine environment (<300 m). This study investigates the formation of the dolomite using new scanning electron microscopy, X‐ray diffraction, stable isotope (carbon and oxygen), Mg/Ca and rare earth element data, combined with shipboard geochemistry and available literature. This study finds that foraminiferal dolomite formation was probably associated with early diagenesis, microbial and ageing processes. Two potential diagenetic processes (seafloor diagenesis and post‐depositional diagenesis) are proposed, and both indicate that the favourable redox condition of dolomite formation is low oxygen, which may activate methanogenic catalysis to facilitate dolomite formation. It is postulated that high‐Mg calcite may be the precursor of foraminiferal dolomite in this case, and that dissolution–precipitation may be the ageing process of dolomite formation. In contrast to deeper, more normal pelagic environments, this study shows that the marine environment can facilitate dolomite precipitation by higher fluxes of organic matter to the seafloor.
浮游有孔虫贝壳通过其微量元素和稳定同位素被广泛用于研究过去海洋和气候的变化。然而,这些地球化学方法可能会因成岩高镁方解石的存在而受到影响。本研究在澳大利亚西北大陆架(300 米)浅海环境中的国际大洋发现计划 U1464 号站点沉积物的浮游有孔虫中观察到了白云石晶体。本研究利用新的扫描电子显微镜、X 射线衍射、稳定同位素(碳和氧)、镁/钙和稀土元素数据,结合船上地球化学和现有文献,对白云石的形成进行了研究。研究发现,有孔虫白云岩的形成可能与早期成岩、微生物和老化过程有关。提出了两种潜在的成岩过程(海底成岩和沉积后成岩),这两种过程都表明白云石形成的有利氧化还原条件是低氧,这可能会激活甲烷催化作用,促进白云石的形成。据推测,在这种情况下,高镁方解石可能是有孔虫白云石的前体,而溶解-沉淀可能是白云石形成的老化过程。与更深、更正常的浮游环境相比,这项研究表明,海洋环境可以通过向海底输送更多有机物来促进白云石沉淀。

Large rivers are characterized by large water discharges, high suspended sediment fluxes and low slope, and typically display multiple channels that are separated by large complex bars. The most common channel style found in these rivers is characterized by the alternating presence of single and multiple channel threads. Mid‐channel compound bars separate a main deeper channel from shallower secondary channels, leading to low‐order braiding and low to moderate sinuosity. Despite the importance of this type of river for global terrestrial sediment transport and the interpretation of ancient fluvial successions, integrated depositional models for large multi‐channel rivers are still not fully developed. This paper interprets the channel morphodynamics and depositional architecture of such large rivers by investigating the distinctive features of their laterally‐accreting mid‐channel bars in the Solimões–Amazonas River. This is achieved by examination of temporal series of satellite images, quantification of bedforms using multibeam echosounding surveys, analysis of shallow seismic and ground penetrating radar surveys of selected areas, and on‐site field observations and sample collections. Such mid‐channel bars produce directional variability in planform scroll bar accretion of up to 180°. As these bars – and their associated channels – evolve, they become progressively shallower, due to the bifurcation of the two channels and the resultant partitioning of discharge that leads to a gradual reduction in transport capacity within the outer channel. The preserved successions of this process in the alluvial plain are characterized by fining‐upward trends, with larger cross‐strata sets at mid‐depths and internal erosional surfaces marking distinct cycles of bar development with potentially differing palaeocurrent trends. The new depositional models proposed for these mid‐channel bars and channels constitute a basis for the recognition of large multi‐channel river deposits in the ancient rock record.
大河的特点是水流量大、悬浮泥沙通量高、坡度低,通常有多条河道,并由大型复合条石分隔。这些河流中最常见的河道类型是单线和多线交替出现。河道中间的复合栅栏将较深的主河道与较浅的次级河道分隔开来,从而形成低阶辫状河道和低到中等的蜿蜒度。尽管这类河流对全球陆地沉积物运移和古代河道演替的解释非常重要,但大型多河道河流的综合沉积模型仍未完全开发出来。本文通过研究索利蒙斯-亚马孙河横向形成的河道中段栅栏的独特特征,解释了此类大型河流的河道形态动力学和沉积结构。具体方法包括:检查卫星图像的时间序列、利用多波束回声测量量化河床地形、分析选定区域的浅层地震和地面穿透雷达测量结果,以及现场实地观察和样本采集。这些河道中段的栅栏在平面形态上产生的滚动栅栏增生方向变化可达 180°。随着这些卷曲条及其相关河道的演变,它们会逐渐变浅,这是由于两个河道的分叉以及由此产生的排水分区导致外河道内的输送能力逐渐降低。冲积平原上保存下来的这一过程的演替具有细化上升趋势的特点,在中深层有较大的交叉地层,内部侵蚀表面标志着不同的条带发育周期,可能具有不同的古水流趋势。为这些河道中段的条石和河道提出的新沉积模型为在古代岩石记录中识别大型多河道河流沉积奠定了基础。

Microbialites provide geological evidence into Earth's early ecosystems, recording long‐standing interactions between co‐evolving life and the environment. Yet, after more than 100 years of research, the complex interplay between environmental and biological forces involved in microbialite growth is still debated. Laguna de Los Cisnes, located in Chilean Tierra del Fuego, Patagonia, provides a unique opportunity to study these interactions. This lake, which became ice‐free around 10 000 years ago, features carbonate microbialites developed by algal–microbial communities. Macroscopically, the organo‐sedimentary deposits exhibit a consistent primary crater‐like architecture, showcasing macrostructural variations such as dish‐shaped, hemispherical, columnar and lenticular morphologies. This study explores the environmental and biological factors shaping microbialite macrostructure by analysing the distribution of dominant morphotypes across the basin. Concurrently, it examines the internal mesostructure and microstructure of microbialites in association with prevailing algal–microbial communities. The incremental development of these communities contributes to the distinct crater‐like morphology observed in microbialites from Laguna de Los Cisnes. The mineral encrustation of the green alga Percursaria percursa emerges as a primary driver of lithification, evidenced by the preservation of microfossils within the microstructure of the microbialites. Simultaneously, physical environmental factors, including waves, Langmuir cells and accommodation space influence the location of the algal–microbial carbonate factory, determining the spatial distribution and temporal succession of different crater architecture variants. Laguna de Los Cisnes, hosting well‐preserved subfossil outcrops and living microbialites, serves as a remarkable living laboratory for understanding microbialite morphogenesis. This study contributes to a novel model that captures the fundamental role of algal–microbial communities in determining the primary macrostructural architecture of microbialites before environmental factors come into play, merely reshaping this architecture into different morphotypes.
微生物岩提供了地球早期生态系统的地质证据,记录了共同进化的生命与环境之间长期存在的相互作用。然而,经过 100 多年的研究,关于微生物岩生长所涉及的环境和生物力量之间复杂的相互作用仍存在争议。位于智利巴塔哥尼亚火地岛的洛斯西内斯湖(Laguna de Los Cisnes)为研究这些相互作用提供了一个独特的机会。该湖大约在 1 万年前开始结冰,湖中的碳酸盐微生物岩是由藻类微生物群落形成的。从宏观上看,有机沉积物呈现出一致的原生火山口状结构,并呈现出盘状、半球状、柱状和透镜状等宏观结构变化。本研究通过分析整个盆地的主要形态分布,探讨了形成微生物岩宏观结构的环境和生物因素。同时,研究还将微生物岩的内部中观结构和微观结构与当时的藻类微生物群落联系起来。这些群落的渐进式发展造就了在洛斯西斯内湖微生物岩中观察到的独特的火山口状形态。绿藻 Percursaria percursa 的矿物包壳是岩化的主要驱动力,微生物岩微结构中保存的微化石就是证明。同时,物理环境因素,包括波浪、朗缪尔细胞和容纳空间影响着藻类微生物碳酸盐工厂的位置,决定着不同火山口结构变体的空间分布和时间演替。洛斯西内斯湖(Laguna de Los Cisnes)拥有保存完好的亚化石露头和活的微生物岩,是了解微生物岩形态发生的重要活实验室。这项研究提供了一个新的模型,该模型捕捉到了藻类-微生物群落在决定微生物岩的主要宏观结构构造方面的基本作用,然后环境因素才发挥作用,将这种构造重塑为不同的形态。

Chemosynthetic microorganisms facilitate microbialite development in many caves throughout the world. In Youqin Cave and Tian'e Cave, located in the Carboniferous–Triassic carbonates on the South China Block, five Quaternary speleothems (stalagmite, stalactite and cave pearl) that are 2.3 to 11.0 cm long were examined for their petrographic, geochemical and microbiological features to reveal how chemotrophs contribute to microbialite growth. In the speleothems, millimetre‐sized stromatolites, thrombolites and calcified microbial mats are characterized by alternating light, calcitic microlaminae and dark, clay and organic‐rich calcite microlaminae. Filamentous (reticulate, smooth, nodular and helical), coccoid and bacilliform microbes, originally carried into the caves from surface soils, are more common in the dark microlaminae/clots than in the light microlaminae. 16S rRNA gene sequencing shows that the biotas in the microbialites are dominated by chemoorganotrophic heterotrophic bacteria, including primarily Sphingomonas, Crossiella and Acinetobacter, and rare Archaea. Diverse metabolic pathways of these prokaryotes, including ureolysis, denitrification and nitrite ammonification, contributed to increases in localized pH and/or dissolved inorganic carbon in these microenvironments, prompting carbonate precipitation. Development of the cave microbialites was probably controlled by the evolution of the cave microbial community as environmental conditions changed. Microbialite growth was probably mediated by the microorganisms that flourished on the speleothem surfaces during periods of low drip water rates and slow calcite precipitation. The change from microstromatolites to microthrombolites was probably linked to a decrease in cell populations in the microbial communities. These cave microbialites provide clear insights regarding the biogenicity and growth mechanisms of chemosynthetic microbialites. Given their association with chemolithotrophic activities that can date back to the Meso‐Archean, cave microbialites provide insights into the biogenicity and growth mechanisms of chemosynthesis‐based microbialites throughout geological history.
化合微生物促进了世界各地许多洞穴中微生物岩的发育。在位于华南地块石炭-三叠系碳酸盐岩中的尤勤洞和天娥洞,研究人员对五块长 2.3 至 11.0 厘米的第四纪洞穴岩体(石笋、钟乳石和洞珠)进行了岩石学、地球化学和微生物学特征研究,以揭示化生微生物如何促进微生物岩的生长。在岩浆岩中,毫米大小的叠层石、血栓岩和钙化微生物垫的特点是浅色方解石微层状结构和深色粘土及富含有机质的方解石微层状结构交替出现。与浅色微层状结构相比,深色微层状结构/块状结构中更常见的是丝状(网状、平滑状、结节状和螺旋状)、茧状和杆菌状微生物,它们最初是从地表土壤中被带入洞穴的。16S rRNA 基因测序显示,微生物岩中的生物群以化有机异养菌为主,主要包括鞘氨单胞菌、克氏菌和针孢杆菌,以及罕见的古细菌。这些原核生物的代谢途径多种多样,包括尿素分解、反硝化和亚硝酸盐氨化,导致这些微环境中的局部 pH 值和/或溶解无机碳增加,从而促使碳酸盐沉淀。随着环境条件的变化,洞穴微生物群落的演化可能控制着洞穴微生物岩的发育。在滴水率低和方解石沉淀缓慢的时期,洞穴表面的微生物可能会促进微生物岩的生长。从微叠层石到微长泡石的变化可能与微生物群落细胞数量的减少有关。这些洞穴微生物岩清楚地揭示了化学合成微生物岩的生物起源和生长机制。鉴于洞穴微生物岩与化石营养活动的关系可以追溯到中-阿尔川时期,洞穴微生物岩为了解整个地质历史中以化学合成为基础的微生物岩的生物成因和生长机制提供了启示。

Global climatic and palaeogeographical changes generated a siliciclastic–carbonate system with high organic matter accumulations in a shallow sea during the lower Permian in Western Gondwana. The 60 m thick mixed siliciclastic–carbonate succession (Irati Formation and the base of the Serra Alta Formation) from the Paraná Basin represents a singular record of the interplay between carbonate production and siliciclastic input, providing a window of opportunity to integrate large‐scale depositional architecture with facies and geochemical analyses. The detailed study of cores supported by outcrop columnar sections revealed a siliciclastic‐dominated, retrogradational to aggradational facies, and a carbonate‐dominated, mixed aggradational to progradational facies composing three depositional sequences that record an outer‐ramp and mid to upper‐ramp. An integrated approach based on the description of facies and microfacies, organic geochemistry and mineralogical composition, indicated high‐frequency palaeoenvironmental changes during the evolution of this restricted basin. Climate changes, resulting in humid and dry phases, produced ideal conditions for high organic matter production and dolomite formation. The high organic matter production (humid phases) in addition to the restricted condition was responsible for the anoxic bottom waters that were widespread due to the low angle and homoclinal platform. Nutrient‐rich freshwater inflows in the anoxic and hypersaline restricted basin created a density‐stratified water column causing low‐salinity surface and anoxic bottom water, which allowed planktonic life, typical of lakes, such Botryococcus braunii, to flourish in the photic zone and sulphur bacteria to populate below the chemocline. Microbial activity induced primary dolomite precipitation (dry phases) and widespread formation of synsedimentary dolostone. Freshwater inflow and marine incursions are reflected in the organic matter accumulation (kerogen types I and II, respectively), generating bituminous shale with high total organic carbon (5 to 27 wt.%).
全球气候和古地理的变化在冈瓦纳西部二叠纪下统的浅海中产生了有机质积累较多的硅质碎屑岩-碳酸盐岩系统。巴拉那盆地厚 60 米的硅质碎屑岩-碳酸盐岩混合演替(Irati Formation 和 Serra Alta Formation 基底)是碳酸盐岩生成与硅质碎屑岩输入之间相互作用的独特记录,为将大规模沉积结构与岩相和地球化学分析结合起来提供了机会之窗。通过对岩心进行详细研究,并辅以露头柱状切片,发现了一个以硅质岩为主、从逆变到渐变的构造面,以及一个以碳酸盐为主、从渐变到顺变的混合构造面,这三个构造面组成了三个沉积序列,分别记录了外斜、中斜和上斜。通过对岩相和微岩相、有机地球化学和矿物成分进行综合描述,表明在这一狭长盆地的演化过程中,古环境发生了高频率的变化。气候的变化导致了潮湿和干燥阶段,为有机质的大量生产和白云岩的形成创造了理想的条件。高有机质的产生(潮湿阶段)以及受限的条件是造成缺氧底层水的原因,由于低角度和同向平台,缺氧底层水非常普遍。富含营养物质的淡水流入缺氧和高盐的受限盆地,形成了密度分层的水柱,造成了低盐度的表层水和缺氧的底层水,这使得湖泊中典型的浮游生物(如褐藻)在光照区大量繁殖,硫细菌在化学跃层以下大量繁殖。微生物活动促使原生白云石沉淀(干燥阶段),并广泛形成合成白云石。淡水流入和海洋入侵反映在有机质的积累上(分别为 I 型和 II 型角质),产生了总有机碳含量较高(5-27 wt.%)的沥青质页岩。

Channel deposits from meandering rivers have proven to be far more complex than the well-known lithofacies model consisting of coarse-grained channel, gravelly channel-lag and fine-grained overbank deposits. Sharp bends in rivers are subject to different hydraulic processes than bends with lower curvatures, enabling erosion of inner banks and deposition of fine-grained sediments in the outer bend, resulting in downstream migration of river bends. This phenomenon is known as counterpoint deposition, forming counterpoint bars. This research investigates whether scroll bars associated with a sharp bend in the Lower Rhine River, The Netherlands, are such a counterpoint-bar deposit. A counterpoint bar is expected based on: (i) the surface morphology of the scroll bar; (ii) the confinement of the river course by an ice-pushed ridge resulting in a sharp bend; and (iii) the archaeological context of successive Roman settlements atop the ice-pushed ridge, potentially moving downstream with the migrating river bend. This hypothesis is tested through detailed borehole descriptions combined with optically stimulated luminescence dating, the latter being a novel approach to identifying counterpoint deposits. The deposits consist of clays and sandy clays with fine sand laminations, and sporadic larger sand bodies. Further upstream these deposits grade into channel deposits dominated by coarser sands with gravels. These lithologies are explained using earlier proposed mechanisms for counterpoint formation; substrata match those described in previously studied counterpoint deposits and their point bar counterparts. Optically stimulated luminescence dates indicate that the Lower Rhine River bend migrated downstream, confirming counterpoint deposition. A migration rate of 1.93 m/year was established through weighted linear regression. This study demonstrates the potential of optically stimulated luminescence dating to investigate counterpoint bar presence. The identified counterpoint bars and associated bend migration provide insight into meandering river dynamics that is crucial for river management and in aiding river restoration and rewilding initiatives.
事实证明,蜿蜒河流的河道沉积物远比由粗粒河道、砾石河道滞留层和细粒河岸沉积物组成的著名岩性模型复杂得多。河流的急弯与曲率较低的弯道受不同的水力作用,使内侧河岸受到侵蚀,细粒沉积物沉积在弯道外侧,导致弯道向下游迁移。这种现象被称为对点沉积,形成对点条带。本研究调查了与荷兰莱茵河下游急弯相关的涡卷条是否属于这种对点条状沉积。反点条沉积的预期依据是:(i) 卷轴条的表面形态;(ii) 河道受冰推山脊的限制而形成急弯;(iii) 在冰推山脊顶上连续出现的罗马定居点的考古背景,这些定居点有可能随着河流弯曲的迁移而向下游移动。这一假设通过详细的钻孔描述和光学激发发光测年法得到了验证,后者是确定对点沉积物的一种新方法。这些沉积物由粘土和含细砂层的砂质粘土以及零星的较大砂体组成。再往上游,这些沉积物逐渐变为以含砾石的较粗砂土为主的河道沉积物。这些岩性可以用之前提出的对点式沉积形成机制来解释;底层与之前研究的对点式沉积及其对应的点条式沉积中描述的底层相吻合。光激发发光日期表明,莱茵河下游弯曲处向下游迁移,证实了对点沉积。通过加权线性回归,确定迁移率为 1.93 米/年。这项研究证明了光激发发光测年法在调查对点条带存在方面的潜力。已确定的对点式条石和相关的弯曲迁移提供了对蜿蜒河流动态的深入了解,这对河流管理以及河流恢复和野化计划至关重要。

Numerical forward modelling and laboratory experiments suggest that autogenic factors in the sediment routing system serve as long-pass filters, preserving only orbital cycles with a period exceeding the compensation timescale, Tc, or thickness in the depth domain exceeding the compensation depth scale, Hc. For a specific orbital cycle with a certain period, this preservation in alluvial strata occurs unless it exhibits a sufficiently large amplitude. This study stratigraphically confirms, for the first time, the long-pass filtering of autogenic dynamics using elemental data from the alluvial–lacustrine Sifangtai and Mingshui formations in the Songliao Basin. Spectral analysis of the Si and Zr series in coarse-grained sediments reveals no cyclic signal with thicknesses below the estimated lower limits of Hc. This implies that the spatial storage threshold for orbital cycles in proxies of the coarse-grained sediment component is equal to or less than Hc. However, cyclic signals of obliquity and precession with smaller thicknesses are identified in Ti, Fe and Al enriched in the fine-grained sediment components of the stratigraphy. Notably, previously reported proxies preserving high-frequency orbital cycles are derived from fine-grained sediment components, differing from the sedimentation rate series used in the reported experimental studies. Therefore, the authors hypothesize a grain-size component-dependent storage threshold, suggesting that the storage threshold of orbital cycles in proxies associated with fine-grained components is lower. This hypothesis arises from the weaker effect of autogenic dynamics on the content of fine-grained sediment components transported to the sampling site by a suspended load compared to coarser components that are subjected to stronger autogenic dynamics within or near channels. The hypothesis and model presented propose a dynamic process elucidating the nuanced roles of autogenic dynamics in preserving orbital cycles. This perspective, considering sediment composition, inspires prioritizing proxies enriched in the fine-grained fraction for identifying allogenic cycles in alluvial strata.
数值模拟和实验室实验表明,沉积溃散系统中的自生因素具有长通滤波器的作用,只保留周期超过补偿时间尺度 Tc 的轨道周期或深度域中厚度超过补偿深度尺度 Hc 的厚度。对于具有一定周期的特定轨道周期,除非其振幅足够大,否则冲积地层中会出现这种保留。本研究利用松辽盆地冲积-湖积地层四方台地层和明水地层的元素数据,首次从地层学角度证实了自生动力学的长通滤波作用。通过对粗粒沉积物中的Si和Zr序列进行光谱分析,发现厚度低于Hc估计下限的沉积物中没有循环信号。这意味着粗粒沉积物部分代用指标中轨道周期的空间储存阈值等于或小于Hc。然而,在地层的细粒沉积物成分中富含的 Ti、Fe 和 Al 中发现了厚度较小的偏斜和前向周期信号。值得注意的是,之前报道的保存高频轨道周期的代用指标均来自细粒沉积成分,与报道的实验研究中使用的沉积速率序列不同。因此,作者提出了一个依赖于粒度成分的存储阈值的假设,认为与细粒度成分相关的代用指标中轨道周期的存储阈值较低。提出这一假设的原因是,与在河道内或河道附近受到较强自生动力学作用的粗粒沉积物相比,悬浮载荷运送到取样地点的细粒沉积物成分含量受到的自生动力学作用较弱。所提出的假设和模型提出了一个动态过程,阐明了自生动力学在保持轨道周期中的微妙作用。从这一角度出发,考虑到沉积物的组成,可以优先使用富含细粒组分的代用指标来识别冲积地层中的自生周期。

Mixed turbidite–contourite depositional systems result from interactions between down-slope turbidity currents and along-slope bottom currents, comprising excellent records of past oceanographic currents. Modern and ancient systems have been widely documented along the continental margins of the Atlantic Ocean. Yet, few examples have so far been identified on the North-west African continental margin, limiting understanding of the sedimentary and palaeoceanographic evolution in this area. This work uses two-dimensional seismic reflection profiles to report, for the first time, the presence of three giant sediment mounds beneath the headwall region of the Sahara Slide Complex. The sediment mounds are elongated and separated by two broad canyons, showing a north-west/south-east orientation that is roughly perpendicular to the continental margin. These mounds are 24 to 37 km long and 12 to 17 km wide, reaching a maximum height of ca 1000 m. Numerous slide scarps are observed within and along the flanks of the mounds, hinting at the occurrence of submarine landslides during their development. Based on their geometries, external shapes, internal seismic architecture and stratigraphic stacking patterns, it is proposed that these sediment mounds comprise down-slope elongated mounded drifts formed in a mixed turbidite–contourite system during four evolutionary stages: onset, growth, maintenance and burial. The significance of this work is that it demonstrates the gradual transition from a turbidite system to a full mixed turbidite–contourite system to be associated, in the study area, with the establishment of strong ocean currents along north-west Africa.
混合浊积岩-冲积岩沉积系统是下坡浊流与沿坡底流相互作用的结果,是过去洋流的极好记录。大西洋大陆边缘的现代和古代系统已被广泛记录。然而,迄今为止在西北非大陆边缘发现的实例很少,这限制了对该地区沉积和古海洋演变的了解。这项研究利用二维地震反射剖面,首次报告了撒哈拉滑动复合体顶壁区域下存在三个巨大的沉积丘。这些沉积丘呈细长形,被两条宽阔的峡谷隔开,呈西北/东南走向,与大陆边缘大致垂直。这些土丘长 24 至 37 千米,宽 12 至 17 千米,最高处约 1000 米。在土丘内部和土丘侧面观察到许多滑坡疤痕,这表明在土丘形成过程中发生过海底滑坡。根据沉积丘的几何形状、外部形状、内部地震结构和地层堆积模式,可以推测这些沉积丘是在混合浊积岩-冲积岩系统中形成的顺坡细长丘状漂移,经历了开始、生长、维持和埋藏四个演化阶段。这项工作的意义在于,它证明了在研究区域内,从浊积岩系统逐渐过渡到完整的混合浊积岩-冲积岩系统与非洲西北部沿岸强洋流的形成有关。

Autogenic evolution of valley-confined deltas during sea-level rise: Insights from numerical and physical modelling 海平面上升过程中山谷封闭三角洲的自生演化:数值和物理建模的启示

Nearshore incised valleys are important conduits for the transport of sediment, nutrients, pollutants and organic carbon from the continents to the sea. Therefore, it is essential to understand the autogenic evolution of deltas confined within incised valleys and how such evolution is affected by relative sea-level rise. To date, limited research has focused on how deltas constrained by incised valleys or other forms of antecedent topography respond to rising sea level. An existing theory of autostratigraphy envisages scenarios in which two-dimensional or unconfined three-dimensional fan deltas can experience three evolutionary stages under constant rates of relative sea-level rise and sediment supply: progradation, autoretreat and post-autobreak transgression. In this work, an integrated study of geometric numerical models and physical experiments is undertaken to investigate autostratigraphic delta evolution for a variety of incised-valley geometries, under conditions of constant rates of relative sea-level rise and sediment supply. Results indicate that interplays of antecedent topography (valley geometries) and sediment mass balance expressed in resultant deltaic geometries can result in autogenic changes in shoreline dynamics and river avulsion frequency on deltas. The following primary findings arise. (i) Compared to valleys with rectangular and trapezoidal cross-sectional profiles, valleys with triangular cross-sections tend to contain deltas that experience faster rates of progradation, autoretreat and post-autobreak transgression under rising sea level, and exhibit a more prominent convex-seaward shoreline trajectory. (ii) The shoreline trajectory is also related to delta topset geometry, becoming more convex-seaward under decreasing topset slopes. (iii) River avulsion frequency on deltas with rising sea level varies markedly across valleys with different geometries, even under the same rate of relative sea-level rise; this is attributed to the difference in temporal evolution of shoreline migration for different valley geometries and the resultant difference in the delta topset aggradation. This study highlights complexities in responses of sedimentary systems under the confinement of different topographic configurations that have hitherto largely been overlooked in sequence-stratigraphic models. The findings provide insight into future shoreline behaviour and river avulsion hazard on confined deltas, and for decoding the stratigraphic record.
近岸切谷是将沉积物、养分、污染物和有机碳从大陆输送到海洋的重要通道。因此,了解切谷内三角洲的自生演化以及这种演化如何受到海平面相对上升的影响至关重要。迄今为止,关于受切入谷或其他形式的先行地形限制的三角洲如何应对海平面上升的研究还很有限。现有的自地层理论设想,在相对海平面上升和沉积物供应速率不变的情况下,二维或非封闭三维扇三角洲可经历三个演化阶段:渐进、自断裂和自断裂后的横断。在这项研究中,我们对几何数值模型和物理实验进行了综合研究,以探讨在相对海平面上升率和沉积物供应量恒定的条件下,各种切谷几何形状的三角洲的自断裂演化过程。研究结果表明,先行地形(河谷几何形状)和沉积物质量平衡在三角洲几何形状中的体现,会导致三角洲海岸线动态和河流冲刷频率的自生变化。主要发现如下(i) 与矩形和梯形横截面的山谷相比,三角形横截面的山谷中的三角洲在海平面上升的情况下,往往会经历更快的前倾、自冲和自冲后的横断,并表现出更突出的凸向海岸线轨迹。(ii) 海岸线轨迹还与三角洲顶坡的几何形状有关,在顶坡坡度减小的情况下,海岸线轨迹变得更加凸向。(iii) 即使海平面相对上升的速度相同,不同几何形状的山谷在海平面上升时三角洲上的河流冲刷频率也明显不同;这是由于不同山谷几何形状的海岸线迁移的时间演化不同,以及由此导致的三角洲顶斜坡倾斜的不同造成的。这项研究凸显了沉积系统在不同地形构造限制下反应的复杂性,而迄今为止,序列-地层模型在很大程度上忽视了这一点。研究结果有助于了解封闭三角洲未来的海岸线行为和河流冲刷危险,也有助于解码地层记录。
