“…Computer models of sediment accumulation in basins have been classified into geometrical and process-based models (Den Bezemer et al, 2000). Geometrical models involve matches between the observed stratigraphy and the computer output by varying the input parameters that control tectonics and deposition.…”

“…Most modelling approaches proceed by representing a grain-size distribution by a finite number of classes rather than by a continuous population. There are two prevalent process-based sorting algorithms (Den Bezemer et al, 2000): 'perfect' and 'imperfect' sorting. Perfect sorting is a more elementary representation of sorting processes than imperfect sorting.…”

Changing conditions during Quaternary glacial and interglacial stages have had a great influence on the location and amount of sedimentation, and on the grain size of deposits. In this modelling study, the volume and grain-size distribution in passive continental margin strata are investigated. A principal aspect of the basin-scale grain-size sorting process is the formation of a subaerial erosional unconformity. During forced regression, deltaic coarsening-up sequences are deposited on the shelf. The relatively coarse-grained topsets of these successions have a lower preservation potential than the finer prodelta deposits. Therefore, erosion on the exposed shelf results in enrichment of river-transported sediments with coarse material during sea-level lowstand. Thus, shelfal strata are depleted of coarse material, increasing the coarse content of deposits on the upper continental slope. In contrast, in the absence of an erosional unconformity, the composition of sediments on the shelf is relatively coarse. The extent to which sediment within a stratigraphic column has been separated into coarse strata, as opposed to mixed compositions, is expressed as a 'differentiation ratio'. Interconnectedness of coarse-grained sediment bodies in the stratigraphy of the continental shelf and slope is closely related to the palaeogeographical evolution, and is consequently a highly variable property.

“…Thus active rifting is commonly associated with fine-grained sediments, whereas coarsening is associated with decreasing fault activity. The duration of the introduction of coarse sediments will influence source-rock composition and topographic gradient (Den Bezemer et al, 2000).…”
