Welcome to the AUDRI website
This is the completely rewritten version of the website: new layout, all sections rewritten to improve clarity, many more images, greatly improved navigation, new content. A primary aim is to make more obvious what is inside - so each major section has a much more detailed index page, and it is easier to jump into sub-sections.
Look out for the new Topic Thread navigation (top left and top right) to guide you through longer sections.
Look in Reservoirs and Analogues section for a guide to conceptual and numerical reservoir modelling.
Tell us what you think, share ideas or ask questions, through the Feedback section.
We all know that as it gets drier, vegetation dies back, so we might think this will liberate more sediment. But the processes involved are complex and have variable lag times - the effect on the rivers may be the opposite of what was expected.
There are no reliable modern analogues for the terminal fan facies model, and it is flawed on many other counts too - it should be abandoned!!
Wind-blown dust can add large amounts of clay to sediment that might have been deposited free of clay, confusing environmental interpretation
