overbank

An overbank deposit usually consists primarily of fine sand, silt and clay.

This would allow overbank flooding, which is vital for maintaining the health of many riparian ecosystems.

These sediments were deposited in floodplain, overbank and swamp environments.

Turbulent structure in meandering channels with mobile beds for overbank flow.

A collection of these channels and levees along with overbank sediments form a channel-levee complex.

For multiple channels, any overbank segment between channel segments is considered part of the channel.

Additional overbank deposition probably accompanied this stable phase.

Most of the old abandoned channel was plugged by overbank deposits from the new master channel.

By mid-November the lift hill and drop were finished and the overbank turn was nearing completion.

The hydrological factors, to mention a few, include the presence or absence of overbank flow, channel network and surface-infiltration rate.

A river bank can be divided into three zones: Toe zone, bank zone, and overbank area.

The burial of Sybaris more likely resulted from natural processes such as fluvial overbank alluviation.

Lake sediment, soil, stream sediment, overbank and water geochemistry.

Sedimentological features of the site indicate a low-energy depositional environment, possibly flood-plain or overbank.

The mudstones that contain most of the fossils represent overbank, lacustrine, and pedogenic deposits.

The holotype specimen was recovered from a sandstone that probably was an overbank deposits of a fluvial environment.

The associated matrix indicates preservation in overbank deposits in a deltaic system exhibiting no evidence of open marine environments.

The siltstones and mudstones represent crevasse splay, overbank and shallow pond environments.

The Monitor Butte is an overbank (distal floodplain) facies with lacustrine deposits.

It contains a variety of trace and body fossils, preserved in sandy fluvial channel deposits and overbank units.

The two Members are complex heterolithic units, representing variously braided-river facies, lacustrine, and overbank deposits.

The site also shows good preservation of organic remains, due to rapid overbank deposition, which is uncommon in Banff National Park sites.

The site shows a major river-channel sandstone, together with overbank or crevasse-splay sandstones, associated with flood plain deposits.

Key among these factors is the dispersion of tailings along the channel and overbank areas of the floodplain along the flood route.

The effectiveness of overbank sediment sampling is being investigated for the detection and delineation of pollution caused by mining and other human activities.
