Stratigraphy of Estuaries, Figure 1 Diagram showing a range of estuaries in terms of geometry and scale. These estuaries also occur
in a range of different climates (from tropical to temperate) and oceanographic settings (tide-dominated vs. wave-dominated). Some
of the estuaries shown here are used later to illustrate the variety and styles of stratigraphic fills, viz., the Thames, the Gironde, the
Peel-Harvey Estuary, the Lawley River Estuary, the Swan-Canning Estuary, the Walpole-Nornalup Estuary, the Leschenault Inlet
Estuary, and the Fitzroy River Estuary.
