Accretion-erosion conversion in the subaqueous Yangtze Delta in response to fluvial sediment decline

Identifying the pattern of delta morphological change under decreasing sediment flux due to dam construction is essential for sustainable management in such densely populated coastal areas. In this study, we investigated the morphological processes of the Yangtze mouth bar and prodelta based on bathymetric data on a decadal-interannual scale ...

Morphodynamic impacts of large-scale engineering projects in the Yangtze River delta

Morphodynamics of world's river deltas are increasingly affected by human activities, which are of great ecological, economic and social implications. However, impacts of human interventions in deltaic regions are insufficiently<br/>understood, especially superimposed upon diminishing sediment supplies. This study uses the heavily interfered...
