Dynamics of river mouth deposits
Bars and subaqueous levees often form at river mouths due to high sediment availability.
Once these deposits emerge and develop into islands, they become important elements of …

Can reservoir regulation along the Yellow River be a sustainable way to save a sinking delta?
Today's deltas are impacted negatively by (1) accelerated subsidence (eg, from ground fluid
extraction),(2) global eustatic sea level rise, and (3) decreased sediment supply, which …
