Lake Texoma Project by Tyler Howe
Project description
Fluvio-lacustrine systems are prone to experiencing significant flood events separated by longer low energy periods. During low flow, sediment is stored upstream of the lake as mid channel and side attached bars. During high-discharge events, water level rises above the topographically low delta front levees, the turbulent jet of the river is positioned upstream of the levee terminous where levees are less confining, and the previously stored sediment may be flushed from the channel into the lake basin. This project has mapped lithologic distribution of linear-deltas in both Lake Texoma and Lake Grapevine, TX, USA. Future work will be focused on utilizing historical streamflow data gathered by the USGS to simulate sedimentation during intermittent high flow events to see if we can model the aerial distribution of lithofacies we found in the field.
