Wang, X.W. (author), Gao, F.L. (author), Zhang, X.M. (author), Ruan, B.Q. (author)Water resources contribute greatly to human well being, both directly and indirectly. Water resources are irreplaceable natural resources, and are limited. However, due to a growing population and related economic development, the water demand from urban, industry and agriculture has increased dramatically. Water shortage has become one of the...report 2002

Yu, Q. (author), Wang, Y. (author), Gao, J. (author), Gao, S. (author), Flemming, B. (author)Traditionally, vertical circulation (induced by gravity circulation and tidal straining), tidal pumping, and resuspension are suggested as the major processes for the formation and maintenance of the estuarine turbidity maximum (ETM). Due to strong mixing, tidal pumping is considered as the dominating process in macrotidal estuaries. To analyze...journal article 2014

(author), Zhang, Changkuan (author)Morphodynamic equilibrium is a widely adopted yet elusive concept in the field of geomorphology of coasts, rivers and estuaries. Based on the Exner equation, an expression of mass conservation of sediment, we distinguish three types of equilibrium defined as static and dynamic, of which two different types exist. Other expressions such as...journal article 2016

Xie, Dongfeng (author), Gao, Shu (author), Wang, Zhengbing (author), Pan, Cunhong (author), Wu, Xiuguang (author), Wang, Qiushun (author)We investigate the evolution of a large-scale sand body, a unique type of sandbars in a convergent estuary. Specifically, we analyze and simulate the sand deposition system (defined as an inside bar) in the Qiantang Estuary (QE) in China. The deposit is 130 km long and up to 10 m thick, and is characterized by a dextral morphology in the lower...journal article 2017

Xie, DF (author), Pan, CH (author), Wu, Xiuguang (author), Gao, S (author), Wang, Zhengbing (author)The research objective is to investigate the variations of sediment transport in outer Changjiang Estuary and adjacent Hangzhou Bay, induced by the decline of Changjiang River sediment discharge and massive land reclamation in the last three decades. A synchronous hydrographic survey was conducted along two transects (at the bay-mouth and outer...journal article 2017

Xie, Dongfeng (author), Pan, Cunhong (author), Wu, Xiuguang (author), Gao, Shu (author), Wang, Zhengbing (author)We investigate the morphological responses of the Hangzhou Bay, China, located immediately south of the Changjiang Estuary, to the drastic reduction of the sediment load from the Changjiang River and the large-scale coastal embankment schemes over past decades. The spatial patterns of deposition and erosion, sediment volume changes, and the...journal article 2017

Li, R. (author), Yu, Qian (author), Wang, Yunwei (author), Wang, Zhengbing (author), Gao, Shu (author), Flemming, Burg (author)The above-ground biomass of Spartina alterniflora salt marsh meadows is influenced by numerous interacting factors, among them elevation, tidal range and inundation duration. Bio-geomorphological models make use of either linear or quadratic equations, but it is important to be aware that the variables are area specific and hence not generic. In...journal article 2018

Xie, Dongfeng (author), Pan, Cunhong (author), Gao, Shu (author), Wang, Zhengbing (author)The importance of seasonal variations in river discharge on the morphological development of estuaries has been recognized in recent years, yet in situ observations about such variations are rare. Here we report a long-term dataset of bathymetry in the middle reach of the Qiantang Estuary, China, characterized by the presence of a large inner...journal article 2018

(author)The goal of this study is to develop a vibration-based electromagnetic energy harvesting prototype that provides power to rail-side monitoring equipment and sensors by collecting wheel-rail vibration energy when the train travels. This technology helps power rail–side equipment in off-grid and remote areas. This article introduces the...journal article 2018
