The physical character of subaqueous sedimentary density flows and their deposits

Thierry Mulder, Jan Alexander · 6 Apr 2001

The complexity of flow and wide variety of depositional processes operating in subaqueous density flows, combined with post‐depositional consolidation and soft‐sediment deformation, often make it difficult to interpret the characteristics of the original flow from the sedimentary record. This has led to considerable confusion of nomenclature in the literature. This paper attempts to clarify this…

Microbial carbonates: the geological record of calcified bacterial–algal mats and biofilms

Robert Riding · 1 Feb 2000

Summary Deposits produced by microbial growth and metabolism have been important components of carbonate sediments since the Archaean. Geologically best known in seas and lakes, microbial carbonates are also important at the present day in fluviatile, spring, cave and soil environments. The principal organisms involved are bacteria, particularly cyanobacteria, small algae and fungi, that participate…

Fluvial responses to climate and sea‐level change: a review and look forward

Michael D. Blum, Torbjörn E. Törnqvist · 1 Feb 2000

Summary Fluvial landforms and deposits provide one of the most readily studied Quaternary continental records, and alluvial strata represent an important component in most ancient continental interior and continental margin successions. Moreover, studies of the long‐term dynamics of fluvial systems and their responses to external or ‘allogenic' controls, can play important roles in research concerning…

Comparison of laser grain size analysis with pipette and sieve analysis: a solution for the underestimation of the clay fraction

M. Konert, Jef Vandenberghe · 1 Jun 1997

ABSTRACT Classically, the grain size of soil and sediment samples is determined by the sieve method for the coarse fractions and by the pipette method, based on the ‘Stokes’ sedimentation rates, for the fine fractions. Results from the two methods are compared with results from laser diffraction size analysis, which is based on the forward…

A REVIEW OF THE ORIGIN AND CHARACTERISTICS OF RECENT ALLUVIAL SEDIMENTS

J. R. L. Allen · 1 Sep 1965

SUMMARY Recent alluvial sediments are reviewed with respect to their geometrical, textural, structural and biological characteristics. These properties are related to the physiographic occurrence and hydraulic geometry of streams and to the dynamics of flowing water as controlling sediment transport‐deposition and stream morphological activities. Based on this data, three‐dimensional facies models are presented as an…

Sedimentology template — frequently asked questions

How do I write a paper in the Sedimentology format?
In DocuGuru you write your manuscript in a normal editor — no LaTeX setup required — and select the Sedimentology template. When you export, DocuGuru compiles the paper into the official Wiley format and hands you a submission-ready PDF along with the editable LaTeX source.
What reference style does Sedimentology use?
Sedimentology uses Author–year (Chicago) references, shown as author–year markers such as (Smith, 2023) in the text. DocuGuru formats every in-text citation and the reference list in this exact style automatically. A reference appears like this: Smith, Ada, Ben Jones, and Cara Lee. 2023. "A Representative Article Title." Sedimentology 12 (3): 45–58.
Do I need to know LaTeX to submit to Sedimentology?
No. DocuGuru generates the USG LaTeX class and compiles the PDF for you in the background, so you get a Wiley-ready Sedimentology document without writing any LaTeX. If you do want it, the LaTeX source is included in the export.
Can I import an existing draft into the Sedimentology template?
Yes. Paste or upload your current manuscript — Word, LaTeX, Markdown, or plain text — and DocuGuru reflows it into the Sedimentology format with correct headings, figures, tables, and author–year citations.
Who publishes Sedimentology?
Sedimentology is a multidisciplinary journal published by Wiley. DocuGuru's Sedimentology template matches Wiley's official submission format.
Can I export a submission-ready Sedimentology PDF?
Yes — DocuGuru produces a PDF built with the official Sedimentology template (the USG class) that is ready to submit to Wiley, together with the matching LaTeX source files.
How much does the Sedimentology template cost?
You can start writing in the Sedimentology template for free. Exporting the final submission-ready Sedimentology PDF and LaTeX source is part of DocuGuru's paid plans — see the app for current pricing.
