Deltaic sedimentation experiment in Lab

This video is a portion of a deltaic sedimentation experiment done at UNLV. It was done as part of Dr. Andrew Hanson's Sed/Strat class and shows different phases of deltaic sedimentation, erosion, and sequence stratigraphy. The plans for this flume tank are at http://serc.carleton.edu/NAGTWorkshops/sedimentary/models/desktop_delta.html The plans come from Dr. Thomas Hickson (University of St. Thomas) and Karen Campbell (National Center for Earth Surface Dynamics)
