Jeremy … there are many outcomes and numerous interacting factors. Too much to go into on a blog post, much less a comment thread. A good text from a sedimentologic/stratigraphic point of view is “Sedimentary Environments: Processes, Facies, and Stratigraphy” by H.G. Reading.

Hi,
I stumbled on this page looking into rivers emptying into oceans. What are the possible out comes? Delta, estuary, sandbars, mudflats? What factors create what?

Mike … no, I didn’t get a chance to go down to the beach this time … hopefully when I do we won’t be sandblasted.

Did you pickup any bits of jade on the beach? The last time I was there, the wind was howling and we couldn’t stand on the beach for being sand-blasted.

It’s a very cool beach, with tons of seals. There’s a nice tombolo to the south, and looking out to sea there is a forest of stacks. A good place to watch the sun set.
