STORM DEPOSITS IN THE CHANGJIANG DELTA

Based on over 10 years' field survey and laboratory work, it has been confirmed that a series of storm deposits have been developed on different geomorphological and sedimentological zones in the Changjiang Delta, covering marsh lowland, shelly and sandy cheniers, tidal flats, the delta front and prodelta. The storm deposit model of the Changjiang Delta is particularly characterized by the hummocky cross stratification found above the normal wave base.
