Bank retreat plays a fundamental role in fluvial and estuarine dynamics. It affects the cross‐
sectional evolution of channels, provides a source of sediment, and modulates the diversity …

Salt marshes are delicate landforms at the boundary between the sea and land. These
ecosystems support a diverse biota that modifies the erosive characteristics of the substrate …

Salt marshes are dynamic systems able to laterally expand, contract, and vertically accrete
in response to sea level rise. Here, we present the grand challenges that need to be …

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 …

In addition to their being vital components of mid-to high-latitude coastal ecosystems, salt
marshes contain 0.1% of global sequestered terrestrial carbon. Their sustainability is now …

We propose an ecomorphodynamic model which conceptualizes the chief land‐forming
processes operating on the intertwined, long‐term evolution of marsh platforms and …

In the last few decades cooperation among fluid dynamicists and geomorphologists has
allowed the construction of a rational framework for the quantitative understanding of several …

The long‐term morphological evolution of tidal landforms in response to physical and
ecological forcings is a subject of great theoretical and practical importance. Toward the …

In shallow coastal settings channels provide a pathway for the tide to propagate and are,
thus, a primary control on the sedimentation and ecology of these environments. Being …

The drainage density of a network is conventionally defined as (proportional to) the ratio of
its total channelized length divided by the watershed area, and in practice, it is defined by …
