Sedimentary Geology

Sedimentary Geology

Dr. Robert C. Mahon

Sedimentology and stratigraphy studies at UNO work primarily on sediment transport in modern and ancient rivers and deltas. This research focuses on building quantitative relations between physical processes such as flow and sediment transport dynamics and the record of these processes left behind as stratigraphic architectures. It involves using sediment experiments in flumes and delta tanks, fieldwork on the many riverine and deltaic environments of Louisiana, as well as modeling work.

 

Examples of current research include:

  • Sedimentology: stratigraphy
  • Sediment transport
  • Quantitative relations between physical processes and the record of these processes 
  • Laboratory sediment experiments
  • Fieldwork on riverine and deltaic environments of Louisiana
