Chenier plain and mudflat development in the South Flank of the Yangtze Delta are
examined by multi-disciplinary methods over different spatiotemporal scales and changing …

As the interface between the fluvial upland system and the open coast, global estuaries are
facing serious challenges owing to various anthropogenic activities, especially to the …

Examination of large scale, alluvial estuarine morphology and associated time evolution is
of particular importance regarding management of channel navigability, ecosystem, etc. In …

The 165 year morphological evolution of the Changjiang (Yangtze) Estuary and its long-term
equilibrium characteristics have been investigated using 16 selected maritime charts from …

As the tidal wave propagates into an estuary, the tidally averaged water level tends to rise in
landward direction due to the density difference between saline and fresh water and the …

An estuary is a dynamic environment where marine and fluvial processes meet to form
complex and transient morphology. The estuary morphology is largely determined by net …
