Sedimentology and isotope geochemistry of transitional evaporitic environments within arid continental settings: From erg to saline lakes (2020)
Journal Article

Arid continental basins typically contain a spectrum of coeval environments that coexist and interact from proximal to distal. Within the distal portion, aeolian ergs often border playa, or perennial, desert lakes, fed by fluvial incursions or elevat...

Marine and Petroleum Geology, 113, Article ARTN 104156. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.marpetgeo.2019.104156

Fluvial deposits create significant hydrocarbon reservoirs, although their characterisation can be difficult due to their differing scales of heterogeneity. Whilst numerical modelling methods have advanced to statistically honour fluvial input datase...
