Slight Multielement Doping-Induced Structural Order-Disorder Transition for High-Performance Layered Na-Ion Oxide Cathodes

To realize concurrently the high-energy density and excellent cycling stability, maximum utilization of redox couple, minimization of detrimental phase transition, and structural degradation of O3-type layered oxide cathodes are critical for developing Na-ion batteries. Ni²⁺/Ni⁴⁺ redox couple showing multielectron...

Designing Coastal Interfaces: Landscape architecture explorations in the Pearl River Delta, the Haringvliet and Pekalongan City through six MSc-graduation projects

This graduation studio explores the potential of a landscape-based regional design approach to contribute to more resilient coastal landscapes around the globe. Such an approach addresses the interaction between the natural and urban landscape throughout the scales of space and time. It takes the landscape as the basis for sustainable urban...

The Longitudinal Profile of a Prograding River and Its Response to Sea Level Rise

River longitudinal profile, a key morphological characteristic of the river channel, is subject to river mouth progradation. Given the increasing influence of human activities and climate change on this critical downstream control, understanding its effects on the evolution of the longitudinal profile is imperative. A general theoretical...

Wave Controls on Deltaic Shoreline‐Channel Morphodynamics: Insights From a Coupled Model

It is widely recognized that waves inhibit river mouth progradation and reduce the avulsion<br/>timescale of deltaic channels. Nevertheless, those effects may not apply to downdrift‐deflected channels. In this study, we developed a coupled model to explore the effects of wave climate asymmetry and alongshore sediment bypassing on shoreline...

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...

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...
