A Review of Fan Delta Studies at Home and Abroad

Abstract

Abstract: Fan delta has been becoming a focus studied by sedimentologists at home and abroad. Through more than 30-year in- depfh studies, fan deltas’ sedimentary characteristics are more and more understood. This paper outlines the definition, classification, formation setting and process, sedimentary characteristics and models of fan delta as well as related study methods and tendency. These studies are of significance for searching for mineral deposits and hydrocarbon reservoirs. Also, there exist a lot of issues to be dealt with urgently for the study of fan deltas, needing in-depth researches to be made further.

Key words: fan, delta, classification, dispositional model
