This short course will present new ideas on morphology, architecture and accretion of shelf and shelf margin prisms. The course will focus on (1) shelf transit principles and the importance of supply, sea-level, shelf width and shelf/coastal plain gradient, (2) shelf and shelf-slope break variability; shelf morphology in high- and low-supply conditions, (3) evolution and architecture of sediment-delivery systems (deltas) on the shelf, (4) slope channels, sediment deposition vs. by-pass on the slope and hyperpycnal flow as a new slope-delivery mechanism, (5) sea-level driven lowstand vs. supply-driven highstand models for shelf margin accretion and fans and (6) rules of thumb for predicting deepwater sands. Lectures will be interspersed with well-log and seismic exercises.
