Wave influence in the construction, sha** and destruction of river deltas: A review

EJ Anthony - Marine Geology, 2015 - Elsevier
Waves are an important agent in the construction, sha** and destruction of river deltas.
Notwithstanding the commonality of waves in oceans and seas, wave influence on deltas …

River deltas and sea-level rise

JH Nienhuis, W Kim, GA Milne, M Quock… - Annual Review of …, 2023 - annualreviews.org
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

DA Edmonds, RL Slingerland - Nature Geoscience, 2010 - nature.com
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

KM Straub, RA Duller, BZ Foreman… - Journal of Geophysical …, 2020 - Wiley Online Library
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

SL Yang, X Luo, S Temmerman… - Limnology and …, 2020 - Wiley Online Library
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

MP Lamb, JA Nittrouer, D Mohrig… - Journal of Geophysical …, 2012 - Wiley Online Library
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

JA Nittrouer, J Shaw, MP Lamb, D Mohrig - Bulletin, 2012 - pubs.geoscienceworld.org
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

RL Caldwell, DA Edmonds - Journal of Geophysical Research …, 2014 - Wiley Online Library
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

TA Goudge, D Mohrig, BT Cardenas, CM Hughes… - Icarus, 2018 - Elsevier
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

AJF Hoitink, JA Nittrouer, P Passalacqua… - Journal of …, 2020 - Wiley Online Library
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 …
