Scientists and engineers have observed for some time that tidal amplitudes at many
locations are shifting considerably due to nonastronomical factors. Here we review …

Tidal rivers are a vital and little studied nexus between physical oceanography and
hydrology. It is only in the last few decades that substantial research efforts have been …

Tides are changing worldwide at rates not explained by astronomical forcing. Rather, the
observed evolution of tides and other long waves, such as storm surges, is influenced by …

River delta degradation has been caused by extraction of natural resources, sediment
retention by reservoirs, and sea-level rise. Despite global concerns about these issues …

At a global scale, delta morphologies are subject to rapid change as a result of direct and
indirect effects of human activity. This jeopardizes the ecosystem services of deltas …

Reduced riverine sediment supply and sea-level rise (SLR) threaten land building and
ecosystem in deltas. However, the sediment-morphodynamic processes in a channel-shoal …

Deltas and estuaries worldwide face the challenge of capturing sufficient sediment to keep
up with relative sea‐level rise. Knowledge about sediment pathways and fluxes is crucial to …

Since the late nineteenth century, channel depths have more than doubled in parts of New
York Harbor and the tidal Hudson River, wetlands have been reclaimed and navigational …

At a global scale, intertidal areas are being reclaimed for agriculture as well as urban
expansion, imposing high human pressure on the coastal zone. The Ganges-Brahmaputra …

Tidal asymmetry in deltas is caused by both the intrinsic asymmetry, resulting from the
combination of astronomical tides, and by nonlinear tidal interactions that occur in shallow …
