The mechanisms of sedimentation from the Amazon river onto the                  adjacent continental shelf will be examined.  The research                      program will involve sampling nearshore sediments, determining                  the sedimentation rates, observing patterns on seismic profiles,                and interpreting the causes of regional patterns in                             sedimentation.  The overall goals are to determine the                          controlling factors for the formation of sedimentary strata in                  fine-grained sediments, learn how to recognize those controlling                factors in the geologic record, and interpret the regional                      sedimentation patterns.  The Amazon River system provides one of                the largest sediment loads to the ocean of any in the world;                    therefore, this project will be important for interpreting data                 from other large river systems.  The project involves a                         collaborative effort with Brazilian scientists.
