PESA WA : Evening talk – Sedimentology of the Gascoyne river. An analogy for the Mungaroo.
Hosted with thanks to our sponsors: The Gascoyne Delta, Western Australia – a wave-dominated, tide-influenced, ephemeral flood-prone fluvial system along a dryland coast; a useful partial-analogue for facies juxtaposition in ancient deltaic reservoirs of the North West Shelf.

PESA WA Field trip and core workshop 2021 – Gascoyne Delta
Core workshop and Field trip 27th April and 1st - 2nd May The Gascoyne River delta and adjacent coastal plain is a useful partial analogue for the Mesozoic reservoir systems on the North West Shelf of Australia, and especially the Triassic Mungaroo-Brigadier, and Jurassic Plover/Legendre fluvial-deltaic reservoirs. This field workshop will examine the modern depositional processes and their products from the updip fluvial axis to the lower delta plain and adjacent coastal plain where wave-tide processes modify the river generated…
