The exceptional sediment load of fine-grained dispersal systems: Example of the Yellow River, China
Sedimentary dispersal systems with fine-grained beds are common, yet the physics of
sediment movement within them remains poorly constrained. We analyze sediment transport …

Universal relation with regime transition for sediment transport in fine-grained rivers
Fine-grained sediment (grain size under 2,000 μm) builds floodplains and deltas, and
shapes the coastlines where much of humanity lives. However, a universal, physically based …
