System-Wide Effects of Local Bed Disturbance on the Morphological Evolution of a Bifurcating Channel Network

Deltaic channel networks are important conduits for water and material supplies to the fluvial and coastal communities. However, increasing human interventions in river deltas have altered the topology and geometry of channel networks as well as their long-term evolution. While the morphological evolution of a single channel has received...

Geographical spatial analysis and risk prediction based on machine learning for maritime traffic accidents: A case study of Fujian sea area

Safety analysis according to the spatial distribution characteristics of maritime traffic accidents is critical to maritime traffic safety management. An accident analysis framework based on the geographic information system (GIS) is proposed to characterize the spatial distribution of maritime traffic accidents occurring in the Fujian sea area...

Combined Effects of Unsteady River Discharges and Wave Conditions on River Mouth Bar Morphodynamics

River mouth bar formation, a key process in fluvial-deltaic morphodynamics, is subject to both river discharge and waves. Given the increasing variability of both forcings under continuous climate change and human interventions, assessing their combined effects on mouth bar formatio n is an imperative issue. In this study, an extensive set of...

Long-Term Cumulative Effects of Intra-Annual Variability of Unsteady River Discharge on the Progradation of Delta Lobes: A Modeling Perspective

Rivers, regardless of their scales and geographic locations, are characterized with natural and human-induced variability in their discharges. While previous studies have established the effects of both interannual and intra-annual variabilities of unsteady river discharge on delta morphological evolution, the long-term cumulative effects of...
