Water is an indispensable resource and is the basis of all forms of life processes on earth. Its
importance cannot be overemphasized as it is a key input in food production, which is …

Most river-deltas of the world have been extremely altered by anthropic activities, where a
regime shift from net accretion into net erosion may have occurred. In this study, subtidal …

Understanding tidal dynamics in estuaries is essential for tidal predictions and assessments
of sediment transport and associated morphological changes. Most studies on river-tide …

Field studies suggest that storms can considerably affect the morphology, sedimentology
and bedding structure of tidal flat wetlands because of their high-energy, while numerical …

Abstract The Red River sediment dispersal system has been increasingly altered by human
activities, but the resultant morphodynamic change and sediment budget in the Red River …

The morphology of the Yangtze Estuary has changed substantially at decadal time scales in
response to natural processes, local human interference and reduced sediment supply. Due …

Abstract South Hangzhou Bay (SHB) in eastern China is one of the regions where
agriculture began in the early Holocene. To better understand how farming-based societies …
