| Sumario: | The construction and evolution of submarine deltaic deposits are influenced by a combination of allogenic and autogenic factors. Numerical simulation of turbidity currents are used to propose a morphodynamic model that quantifies the effect of the slope and river input variations on delta development/construction for the case of mountainous rivers subjected to a seasonal Mediterranean climate, such as those located in the northern shelf of the Alboran Sea. These simulations were performed by using both constant and variable rates of fluvial flows. Both theoretical and real bathymetric profiles were used in the simulations. The results indicate that both the river flow and the depositional basin slope are key features for the development of morphostratigraphic features of submarine deltas at different spatial scales. |
