One of the proposed methods for restoring the disappearing Mississippi Delta is sediment
diversion which uses channels and structures to divert water and sediment from the …

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 …

We present here an integrated analysis of coastal deltaic floodplains in the active
Atchafalaya Coastal Basin coupled to downstream deltaic estuaries to review how …

To mitigate land losses in the Mississippi River Delta, sediment diversions are being
employed to enable the flow of river water and sediments into wetlands experiencing …

Estuarine wetlands have experienced a variety of ecological and environmental problems
caused by natural and anthropogenic factors. China has proposed a series of measures and …

Barataria Bay is a receiving basin for a large Mid-Barataria Sediment Diversion scheme in
Louisiana, USA. In this region, data on sediment transport and hydrodynamics are scarce …

To combat land loss along the Mississippi River Delta, Louisiana has launched a historic
campaign to sustain and regrow coastal lands using, in part, sediment diversions. Previous …

Fundamentally, river plume dynamics are controlled by the buoyancy due to river effluent
and mixing induced by local forcing such as winds and tides. Rarely the influence of far-field …

Coastal bedrock islands sea areas have a unique natural environment, frequent human
activities, and complex sedimentary dynamic processes. In this paper, we select the Chudao …

High subsidence rates are inherent to coastal deltas worldwide, contributing to rapid rates of
relative sea-level rise and compromising the sustainability of coastal wetlands. Different …
