Abstract

[Extract] Mixed-energy depositional processes refer to the interplay of hydrodynamic processes controlling sedimentation dynamics in a certain sedimentary environment. When referring to the coastal to shelf realm, three main suites of processes are considered the major players: river, tide and wave (Ainsworth et al., 2011; Dalrymple et al., 1992; Dashtgard et al., 2021; Zuchuat et al., 2019). In addition to the cyclical or punctual intrinsic variations in these processes, aeolian processes, contour currents, seasonal ice cover, nature and mechanical characteristics of the substrate and confinement and physiography of the basin, climate oscillation (e.g. El Niño and La Niña) and relative sea-level fluctuations can interact with or affect the three major processes and should also be considered in sedimentary analyses.
