FAKTS project update
The Fluvial Architecture Knowledge Transfer System (FAKTS) is a major FRG initiative based on the development of a relational database for fluvial systems and preserved successions.

The Fluvial Architecture Knowledge Transfer System (FAKTS) is a major FRG initiative based on the development of a relational database for fluvial systems and preserved successions. One key deliverable of the FAKTS system is the probabilistic determination of vertical and lateral transitions between facies, facies associations and larger architectural elements within a range of fluvial system types. Results can be filtered in a sophisticated manner, for example according to sediment supply type, climatic setting or basin type.
