Determining the causes of pleistocene stream-aggradation in the central coastal areas of Western Australia

Auteur :
WYR WOLL, K. H.

Description :
The general geomorphological characteristics of the drainage basins and the details of the sedimentology/paleohydraulics suggest that stream aggradation was due to sediment yields exceeding stream capacity. However, from a consideration of the mechanics of stream aggradation it is demonstrated that stream aggradation was a response to both sediment supply and base level controls.
