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 …

Despite the rapid construction of offshore wind farms, the available information regarding the
risks of this type of development in terms of emerging pollutants, particularly microplastics, is …

Mud depocenters (MDCs) represent major proximal-marine sinks for fine-grained
terrigenous material, carbon, and contaminants on modern continental shelves. Throughout …

The discharge of sanitary sewage into the bays of the Florianópolis Metropolitan Area
(Southern Brazil), has led to the contamination of oyster farms. Consequently, linear …

Evidence suggests that the continental shelf CO 2 influx rate might have increased globally
during the past several decades. It remains a challenge to quantify air–sea CO 2 fluxes in …

Fluid mud plays an important role in the maintenance of the estuarine turbidity maximum
(ETM) and makes a significant contribution to estuarine sediment transport. A seabed tripod …

A calibrated, coupled model (COAWST) of the Bohai and Yellow Seas was employed to
examine the contributions of waves and tides to the sediment transport, and to understand …

Fine-grained sediments suspended in coastal waters play an important role in submarine
topography evolution and associated environment changes. The convergence of suspended …

Subaqueous dunes are often observed to be superimposed on larger dunes, sand bars and
tidal ridges, while smaller dunes may also be found superimposed on larger dunes. In this …

Prompted by the realization that parts of the coast of southern Jiangsu Province, China, are
under threat of reclamation, we here summarize evidence that loss of intertidal habitats …
