Disentangling Sea Level, and Sediment Supply Signals From The Panther Tongue Parasequence

摘要: To assess, and validate the most recent interpretations on Panther Tongue\rq{}s depositional history we use conceptual process-response model, 2Dstratsim. The focus of this study is Ksp040 parasequence which reflects wave-dominated shoreface along southern Wasatch Plateau. associated Tongue delta to north considered as dominant sediment source for parasequence. As a result complex 3D nature individual lobes it infeasible correlate 2D simulated profile Before field data used in 2Dstratsim model first brought workable level through debugging, rewriting C++ code. Then uses parameterised equations together with user implemented input signals forward routine generate cross-sectional linear decreasing initial surface. This inversion techniques automatically measured, logs format average grain-size depth. By generating best match between these logs, forcing geologic environment are disentangled. disentangle diagram modified prepare visual correlation cross-sections based observed bedset characteristics. Then, measured log digitised enable detailed calculation logs. New tools added examine model\rq{}s output graphically, addition existing ones enhanced. Four scenarios created characteristics set preliminary parameters, constrain statistical functions routine. improves automated procedure two different settings, with, without back-barrier formation profile. These settings again subdivided into scenario where solely sea changed diagram. other primarily fluctuations supply cross-sections, minimal extent. In matched scenario, that was formation, only changes level. Because requires additional work from issue related stability sensitivity difference classification field, gaps Thus, can be create sedimentary environments using also able its recreate limited extent no constraints Therefore, there assurance final geologically plausible. Additionally, extensive required
