Storm‐flood‐dominated delta: A new type of delta in stormy oceans

Abstract Storms are increasingly identified as a key depositional process. Their deposits show unique sedimentary characteristics, distinct from deposits of fair‐weather wave processes, but are not currently separated in classic ternary deltaic classification schemes. The term ‘storm‐flood‐dominated delta’ is proposed for a new type of delta that more fully represents deltas dominated by storm‐flood processes. This study describes several …
