Abstract
Cheniers can occur in different settings where a low-lying plain is subject to periodic high-energy events or drastic fluctuations of sediment availability. The mid-Holocene sea-level fall favors the progradation of chenier plains. Large estuaries, coastal lagoons, and deltas are affected by waves capable of reworking former deposits. Cuspate forelands and spits have been linked to seiches (tidal nodes or wind-generated edge waves). Regressive spits and beach-ridge plains reflect wave effects within estuaries.
