Sediment trapping in estuaries

H Burchard, HM Schuttelaars… - Annual review of marine …, 2018 - annualreviews.org
Estuarine turbidity maxima (ETMs) are generated by a large suite of hydrodynamic and
sediment dynamic processes, leading to longitudinal convergence of cross-sectionally …

Tidal salt marsh morphodynamics: a synthesis

CT Friedrichs, JE Perry - Journal of Coastal Research, 2001 - JSTOR
We now understand that, morphologically, natural tidal marshes are generally near or
progressing rapidly toward dynamic equilibrium with sediment supply, vegetative growth …

The influence of channel deepening on estuarine turbidity levels and dynamics, as exemplified by the Ems estuary

VN de Jonge, HM Schuttelaars… - Estuarine, Coastal and …, 2014 - Elsevier
Active deepening of tidal channels usually results in the alteration of the vertical and the
horizontal tide. This may lead to concurrent significant increases in mean suspended matter …

Long‐term evolution and morphodynamic equilibrium of tidal channels

S Lanzoni, G Seminara - Journal of Geophysical Research …, 2002 - Wiley Online Library
This contribution investigates the morphodynamic equilibrium of funnel‐shaped well‐mixed
estuaries and/or tidal channels. The one‐dimensional de Saint Venant and Exner equations …

[HTML][HTML] The effect of tidal asymmetry and temporal settling lag on sediment trapping in tidal estuaries

AS Chernetsky, HM Schuttelaars, SA Talke - Ocean Dynamics, 2010 - Springer
Over decades and centuries, the mean depth of estuaries changes due to sea-level rise,
land subsidence, infilling, and dredging projects. These processes produce changes in …

Tidal network ontogeny: Channel initiation and early development

A D'Alpaos, S Lanzoni, M Marani… - Journal of …, 2005 - Wiley Online Library
The long‐term morphological evolution of tidal landforms in response to physical and
ecological forcings is a subject of great theoretical and practical importance. Toward the …

Estuarine physical processes research: some recent studies and progress

RJ Uncles - Estuarine, coastal and shelf science, 2002 - Elsevier
The literature on estuarine physical studies is vast, diverse and contains many valuable
case studies in addition to pure, process-based research. This essay is an attempt to …

Tide transformation in the Guadalquivir estuary (SW Spain) and process‐based zonation

M Díez‐Minguito, A Baquerizo… - Journal of …, 2012 - Wiley Online Library
This study analyzes tide transformation in the Guadalquivir estuary (SW Spain). When fresh
