INVESTIGATION OF PEAT STRATIGRAPHY IN TIDAL MARSHES

Copper River Delta, which undergoes net long- term subsidence punctuated by coseismic uplift, buried peat and forest layers record four pre-1964 uplifts during the past 3,000 yr (Plafker and oth- ers, 1992). The most recent event represented in the Copper River Delta sequence was about 800 yr ago. Get price

The Mississippi River Delta Basin

After abandonment of an older delta lobe, which would cut off the primary supply of fresh water and sediment, an area would undergo compaction, subsidence, and erosion. The old delta lobe would begin to retreat as the gulf advanced, forming lakes, bays, and sounds. Concurrently, a new delta lobe would begin its advance gulfward. Get price

[PDF] Peat or no peat: Why do the Rajang and Mahakam

Peat-swamp biomass began to accumulate over Pleistocene podzols when sea level stabilized ∼ 7.5 ka and delta progradation was initiated. The Mahakam River delta and coastal plain, East Kalimantan, Indonesia, also began progradation at this time, but there is no evidence in any part of the coastal region for peat accumulation.

Delta Subsidence: An Imminent Threat to Coastal Populations

Jul 31, 2015The Mekong Delta, for instance, which is now subsiding at an average rate of 1.6 cm per year,9 is one of the world's major rice exporters10 and home to more than 20 million people.9 Unlike rocky continental coasts, delta plains tend to be soft and easily compressed. They're often propped up by underlying oil, gas, or fresh groundwater that Get price

Flooding projections from elevation and subsidence models

In SE Asia, the dominant peatland landscapes are the so-called peat domes that have a raised topography some meters above the rivers that traverse the lowland plains. In most peatlands, as in the Rajang Delta, the peat bottom (i.e. the surface of the mineral substrate below the peat) is located below the flood level of rivers and the sea. Get price

Toward a mechanistic understanding of "peat collapse" and

Compaction could occur as a physical response to an increase in overburden on the soil surface, such as the deposition of wrack material or a storm surge (Cahoon 2006, Whelan et al. 2009), or simply the compaction of peat under its own weight. Get price

Peat Compaction as a Premier Driver of Mississippi Delta

Measurements of the deformation of a 1500-year-old, originally near-horizontal swamp peat bed in the Mississippi Delta shows that averaged peat compaction rates can be as high as 5 mm/yr, values that exceed recent model predictions. It is conceivable that over decadal to centennial timescales compaction rates can locally be 10 mm/yr or more. Get price

Calibrated density profiles of Caribbean mangrove peat

Jan 17, 2018Calibrated peat densities from computed tomography (CT) and petrologic analysis allow quantitative assessment of compaction in continuous peats from Florida (6 m thick), Belize (12 m thick), and Panama (3.5 m thick). Pure peat exhibits voids at all depths and 80% water contents. Get price

Contribution of peat compaction to relative sea

Peat compaction, therefore, may contribute considerably to total delta subsidence. Existing studies are inadequate for quantifying peat compaction across deltas. We present a numerical peat compaction model calibrated with an extensive field dataset. The model quantifies spatial and temporal trends in peat compaction within fluvial-dominated Get price

Agriculture in the Sacramento

Subsidence is primarily the result of peat oxidation, although wind erosion, shrink- age, and compaction may also contribute. Oxidation takes place continually in peat above the water table. It is accelerated by tillage and greatly speeded up by burning of peat fields-a common practice for a peri- od of 60 to 70 years. Typically, soils were Get price

Peat compaction in the long term

Peat compaction can have impact in several ways and in that way influences in that way the land use in the landscape which has resulted in peat lands becoming complex planning problems. Spatial planning is used by governments to develop and influence the landscape and the functions in the landscape. Get price

Sacramento Delta sinking faster than sea level is rising

Because the measurements are insensitive to subsidence associated with peat thickness variations over Delta-island length scales, it is most likely that InSAR rates reflect underlying Quaternary sedimentary column compaction. This is the vast deposits of sediment below the peat layer, which built up since the end of the last ice age. Get price

Stages in the compaction of peat; examples from the

Thick coal seams in the intramontane basins of the Massif Central allow a detailed study of peat/coal compaction. Three stages of compaction can be detected. Stage 1—occurred during the deposition of the peat. Coal beds which thicken and dip away from penecontemporaneous sandstones suggest rapid compaction. Stage 2—compaction of peat related to overburden pressure in some cases resulted in Get price

Peat layer accumulation and post‐burial deformation during

Abstract Peat horizons are characteristic features of delta plains worldwide. In this study, we tested the use of peat‐based correlations to assess the deformation of Holocene strata in the Po coastal plain (Northern Italy). The Holocene stratigraphy, about 30 km inland from the modern coastline consists of a peat‐bearing, estuarine and deltaic succession, up to 23 m thick. Get price

LAND SUBSIDENCE IN THE SACRAMENTO

RECENT RESEARCH IN THE DELTA Several possible causes of subsidence in the Sacramento- San Joaquin Delta, in decreasing order of importance, include: (1) near-surface loss of organic soils, such as peat, caused by aerobic decomposition (oxidation) and wind erosion; (2) intermediate-depth compaction of saturated soils caused by Get price

THE ORIGIN OF PEAT AND COAL

COALIFICATION Coalification = the process by which peat is converted to coal as it is buried though the effects of heat and pressure during diagenesis. Peat undergoes thermal maturation and compaction due to the weight of overlying sediment. This results in water and other volatiles (oxygen in the form of carbon dioxide, nitrogen, hydrogen in the form of methane Get price
