Bars and subaqueous levees often form at river mouths due to high sediment availability.
Once these deposits emerge and develop into islands, they become important elements of …

Sandy beaches occupy more than one-third of the global coastline and have high
socioeconomic value related to recreation, tourism and ecosystem services. Beaches are …

Abstract The Yangtze River Delta (YRD) and Mississippi River Delta (MRD) are two of the
largest deltas in the world. Despite similar forcing conditions of fluvial sediment reduction …

River deltas support a disproportionate percentage of the world's population and some are
drowning as sea level rises. Resilient deltas theoretically balance relative sea-level rise with …

Reliable information on salt marsh extent and condition is crucial to promote effective
management strategies towards their maintenance and recovery. Most of previous studies …

Globally, mineral sediment supply to deltaic wetlands has generally decreased so these
wetlands increasingly rely on accretion of organic matter to keep pace with relative sea …

Salt marshes providing valuable services in buffering flooding risks are regarded as cost-
effective coastal defense solutions. Given that eroding marsh cliffs will threaten the …

Alluvial rivers are shaped by interactions of flow and sediment transport. Their lower reaches
to the world's oceans are highly dynamic, often presenting engineering and management …

Sediment is the most valuable natural resource for deltaic environments because it is
required to build new land. For land building to occur, sediment must be retained in the delta …

Vegetation successions of coastal wetlands were influenced by the changes in relative
surface elevation and soil salinity. In this study, the vegetation successions of coastal …
