Estuaries are dynamic mixing zones where river water interacts with seawater, resulting in
large and complex geochemical changes. How two key factors, particle aggregation and pH …

Sediment is found throughout the world's alluvial plain rivers, estuarine coasts and adjacent
seas and is thereby a key factor in major ecosystems. Suspended mineral sediment can …

The complexity of dissolved organic matter (DOM) limits our understanding of the estuarine
carbon cycle. This study adopted a combination of bulk carbon isotope, optical techniques …

Biophysical cohesive mud, consisting of clay minerals and extracellular polymeric substance
(EPS), plays significant role in determining sediments, nutrients and pollutants transport in …

In order to improve our understandings of temporal and vertical variations of sediment
flocculation dynamics within the turbidity maxima (TM) of the highly turbid Yangtze Estuary …

The transport of dissolved organic matter (DOM) across the land-ocean-aquatic-continuum
(LOAC), from freshwater to the ocean, is an important yet poorly understood component of …

Traditionally, vertical circulation (induced by gravity circulation and tidal straining), tidal
pumping, and resuspension are suggested as the major processes for the formation and …

The region consisting of the Bohai, Yellow and East China seas represents a typical wide
continental shelf environment with abundant terrestrial sediment supply. Here, a variety of …

Accurate estimations for the bed shear stress are essential to predict the erosion and
deposition processes in estuaries and coasts. This study used high-frequency in situ …

The definition of the threshold of sediment motion is critical for continental shelf sediment
dynamics. The work by A. Shields laid the foundation for this research direction, leading to …
