The geomorphology of the lower Athabasca Delta reflects these conditions, and is characterized by bifurcating, low-sinuosity distributary channels, muddy interdistributary basins, distributary mouth bars and a gently sloping offshore profile. The major sandy bodies within the lower Athabasca Delta are the product of deposition within the distributary mouth bar, the crevasse-splay and the infilling distributary channel. Distributary mouth bars form thin (less than 4 m), lenticular bodies which tend to coalesce and produce a semi-continuous sandy sheet along the delta front. Crevasse-splays similarly form lenticular bodies of coarse material, however, they are smaller in scale than distributary mouth bars and tend not to merge laterally with each other. Distributary channel-fills tend to consist of very clean sands, and may exceed 5.5 m in thickness. They ...
