Unidades geomorfológicas da planície aluvial do Médio Rio São Francisco, Nordeste do Brasil
TL;DR: In this paper , the authors presented the first geomorphologic map of the Middle São Francisco River and described the main morphosedimentary units of the alluvial plain using high-resolution satellite images, digital elevation models, cores data from previous studies, and morphology field descriptions.

Bedding-scale geomodelling for effective permeability estimation in the Upper McMurray Formation, NE Alberta, Canada
TL;DR: In this paper, a bedding-scale geomodeling and simulation workflow using core images, core-plug and Vshale logs to estimate the effective permeability (Kh, Kv) in the Upper McMurray Formation is presented.

Paleoenvironmental analysis of the Glenalum Tunnel coal and roof rock, southern West Virginia—Implications for sulfur origin and trends
TL;DR: The coal seam is comprised of six benches including bright to dull clarain, bone coal, and carbonaceous shale, with average values for each bench less than 0.73% as mentioned in this paper.

Architectural-Element Analysis: A New Method of Facies Analysis Applied to Fluvial Deposits
TL;DR: In this article, the authors proposed a new method of analysis for fluvial facies, which subdivides fluvic deposits into local suites consisting of one or more of a set of eight basic three-dimensional architectural elements.

A review of the origin and characteristics of recent alluvial sediments
TL;DR: In this paper, the geometrical, textural, structural, and biological characteristics of alluvial sediments are reviewed with respect to their geometrically, texturally, structural and biological properties, which are related to the physiographic occurrence and hydraulic geometry of streams and to the dynamics of flowing water.
