River deltas are complex aggradational systems preserving the history of their evolution in the depositional record. While coastal deltas are extensively studied, little is known about “false delta”, multi-channel systems situated at a certain distance from the sea. The term “false delta” is used here in reference to a system of bifurcating alluvial channels influenced by sea level changes, and variations in discharge and sediment delivery....
