This study provides a basis for better identifying the hydrodynamic processes that shape coastal systems, such as estuarine and backbarrier environments. Additionally, those deposits are analogues for certain hydrocarbon reservoirs, thereby increasing knowledge of their facies distribution and aiding production optimization. Paper here.
