River deltas and sea-level rise
Future sea-level rise poses an existential threat for many river deltas, yet quantifying the
effect of sea-level changes on these coastal landforms remains a challenge. Sea-level …

Significant effect of sediment cohesion on delta morphology
The morphologies of the world's deltas are thought to be determined by river discharge, tidal
range and wave action. More recently, sea-level rise, and human engineering have been …

Buffered, incomplete, and shredded: The challenges of reading an imperfect stratigraphic record
Climate, tectonics, and life influence the flux and caliber of sediment transported across
Earth's surface. These environmental conditions can leave behind imprints in the Earth's …

Role of delta‐front erosion in sustaining salt marshes under sea‐level rise and fluvial sediment decline
Accelerating sea‐level rise and decreasing riverine sediment supply are widely considered
to lead to global losses of deltaic marshes and their valuable ecosystem services. However …

Backwater and river plume controls on scour upstream of river mouths: Implications for fluvio‐deltaic morphodynamics
Sediment flux from rivers to oceans is the fundamental driver of fluvio‐deltaic
morphodynamics and continental margin sedimentation, yet sediment transport across the …

Spatial and temporal trends for water-flow velocity and bed-material sediment transport in the lower Mississippi River
Where rivers near the coastline, the receiving basin begins to influence flow, and gradually
varied, nonuniform flow conditions arise. The section of the river affected by nonuniform flow …

The effects of sediment properties on deltaic processes and morphologies: A numerical modeling study
There is a pressing need to understand how different delta morphologies arise because
morphology determines a delta's ecologic structure, resilience to relative sea‐level rise, and …

Stratigraphy and paleohydrology of delta channel deposits, Jezero crater, Mars
The Jezero crater open-basin lake contains two well-exposed fluvial sedimentary deposits
formed early in martian history. Here, we examine the geometry and architecture of the …

Resilience of river deltas in the Anthropocene
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 …
