Coastal flooding will disproportionately impact people on river deltas
Climate change is intensifying tropical cyclones, accelerating sea-level rise, and increasing
coastal flooding. River deltas are especially vulnerable to flooding because of their low …

Hydrological connectivity in river deltas: The first‐order importance of channel‐island exchange
M Hiatt, P Passalacqua - Water Resources Research, 2015 - Wiley Online Library
Deltaic systems are composed of distributary channels and interdistributary islands. While
previous work has focused either on the channels or on the islands, here we study the …

Catalyzing action towards the sustainability of deltas
Deltaic systems are among the most dynamic and productive environments on Earth and
many have a high population density. Deltas play a central role in food and water security …

The importance of erosion in distributary channel network growth, Wax Lake Delta, Louisiana, USA
A river delta's shape and kinematics are dictated by the three-dimensional evolution of its
distributary channels on the delta front, yet measurements of this evolution are scarce. We …

The morphology and evolution of channels on the Wax Lake Delta, Louisiana, USA
River deltas are classic depositional systems, but a growing body of literature shows that
their channel networks can be erosional. Furthermore, this erosion can attack channel beds …

Delta channel networks: 1. A graph‐theoretic approach for studying connectivity and steady state transport on deltaic surfaces
River deltas are intricate landscapes with complex channel networks that self‐organize to
deliver water, sediment, and nutrients from the apex to the delta top and eventually to the …

Effect of tides on mouth bar morphology and hydrodynamics
N Leonardi, A Canestrelli, T Sun… - Journal of Geophysical …, 2013 - Wiley Online Library
Mouth bars are morphological units important for deltas, estuaries, or rivers debouching into
the sea. Several processes affect the formation of these deposits. This paper focuses on the …

Delta channel networks: 2. Metrics of topologic and dynamic complexity for delta comparison, physical inference, and vulnerability assessment
Deltas are landforms that deliver water, sediment and nutrient fluxes from upstream rivers to
the deltaic surface and eventually to oceans or inland water bodies via multiple pathways …
