Although large dams have been constructed and continue to be constructed on many rivers,
the lack of long-term gauging data often makes it difficult to document either reservoir …

Clinoforms are inclined and normally basinward-dip** horizons developed over a range
of spatial and temporal scales in both siliciclastic and carbonatic systems. The study of …

Abstract The Three Gorges Dam and Reservoir on the Yangtze River is one of the world's
largest dams. After the dam's construction in 1997, the reservoir started filling up, expanding …

The Yangtze River has been the primary support of the resources and transportation of
China. The Three Gorges Dam and Reservoir on the Yangtze River is one of the world's …

Using 50years of hydrologic and bathymetric data, we show that construction of~ 50,000
dams throughout the Yangtze River watershed, particularly the 2003 closing of the Three …

Abstract Knowledge of the transfer of sediment through river systems is essential for
understanding the physical, chemical and biological processes on the Earth's surface. A …

Abstract The East China Seas (ECS) is one of the world's largest continental shelf seas.
Based on the combination of global sea level change and sequence stratigraphy, we …

Large-river delta-front estuaries (LDE) are important interfaces between continents and the
oceans for material fluxes that have a global impact on marine biogeochemistry. In this …

Clinoforms are ubiquitous deltaic, shallow-marine and continental-margin depositional
morphologies, occurring over a range of spatial scales (1–10 4 m in height). Up to four types …

Lidar techniques present a distinctive ability to resolve vertical structure of optical properties
within the upper water column at both day-and night-time. However, accuracy challenges …
