Fluvio-deltaic floodbasin deposits recording differential subsidence within a coastal prism (central Rhine–Meuse delta, The Netherlands)

In the central Netherlands, the Rhine follows a course imposed by Late Quaternary glaciation, forcing it to cross several tectonic blocks of the Roer Valley Graben system before entering the south-eastern North Sea Basin. Holocene sealevel rise resulted in the formation of a coastal prism (Holocene Rhine–Meuse delta). Across the Peel Boundary Fault-zone (PBF) in the central delta, differences in subsidence between the downstream Roer Valley Graben and its upstream shoulder influenced fluvial deposition. This study examines the sedimentary response upstream and downstream of the PBF and uses th... Mehr ...
