Sediment Characteristics and Intertidal Beach Slopes along the Jiangsu Coast, China

Tidal flats play an important role in promoting coastal biodiversity, defense against flooding, land reclamation and recreation. Many coastal tidal flats, especially the tide-dominant ones, are muddy. However, the number of studies on the profile shape and surficial sediment distribution of muddy tidal flats is small compared to sandy beaches....

Deep Recursive Embedding for High-Dimensional Data

Embedding high-dimensional data onto a low-dimensional manifold is of both theoretical and practical value. In this article, we propose to combine deep neural networks (DNN) with mathematics-guided embedding rules for high-dimensional data embedding. We introduce a generic deep embedding network (DEN) framework, which is able to learn a...

A Morphodynamic Modeling Study on the Formation of the Large‐Scale Radial Sand Ridges in the Southern Yellow Sea

The radial sand ridges (denoted as “RSRs” hereafter) in the Southern Yellow Sea, China, are morphologically striking because of the remarkable size and radial planar orientation, standing out as a unique coastal geomorphology among the worldwide sand ridge systems. The formation of this giant fan‐shaped geomorphic feature requires delicate...
