Relating to or deposited in environments where rivers meet or interact with lakes; formed in transitional river-and-lake systems.
From fluvio- (river) + lacustrine (relating to lakes, from Latin lacus lake). This rare compound combines two aquatic environments to describe complex transitional zones.
Fluviolacustrine sediments are where rivers and lakes have a conversation—these deposits record seasonal changes, mixing patterns, and the complex dance between flowing and still water.
