Explore tide-dominated and tide-influenced depositional systems in this 1-hour 14-minute seminar. Delve into the complexities of these systems, which have been studied for decades but remain less understood compared to fluvial-dominated and wave-dominated counterparts. Examine the discrepancies between interpreted tide-dominated successions and their modern analogues, including differences in grain size, architectural elements, and unit thicknesses. Analyze the limitations of using "tidal indicators" as the sole evidence for inferring tidal origins in ancient systems. Through examples of modern and ancient tidal systems, investigate the challenges associated with their study and the potential pitfalls in developing conceptual and applied models. Gain insights into the current state of knowledge and ongoing debates in the field of tide-influenced sedimentology.
