Sun, J. (author), van Prooijen, Bram (author), Wang, Xianye (author), Zhao, Zhonghao (author), He, Qing (author), Wang, Zhengbing (author)Creeks are essential for salt marshes by conveying water and sediment through this geomorphic system. In this paper, we investigate the mechanisms that determine the residual sediment flux using measurements conducted in tidal creeks in salt marshes of the Yangtze Estuary. A main creek and a secondary creek were studied to explore whether the...journal article 2024

Sources of suspended sediments in salt marsh creeks: Field measurements in China and the NetherlandsSun, J. (author), van Prooijen, Bram (author), Wang, Xianye (author), Hanssen, J.L.J. (author), Xie, W. (author), Lin, J. (author), Xu, Yuan (author), He, Qing (author), Wang, Zhengbing (author)Marsh creeks are perceived as important conduits for transporting water and sediment between mudflats and marshes. In order to advance the understanding of the transport mechanisms in creeks, the source and ultimate sink of sediment which moves between mudflats and marshes through creek channels need further investigation. Therefore, two...journal article 2024

Xie, Weiming (author), Sun, J. (author), Guo, Leicheng (author), Xu, Fan (author), Wang, Xianye (author), Ji, Hongyu (author), Fan, Yaoshen (author), Wang, Zhengbing (author), He, Qing (author)Coastal tidal flats provide valuable ecosystems, but are highly sensitive to tidal dynamics, sea-level rise, and human activities. Tidal inundation depth and frequency are known to affect tidal flat morphodynamics. However, the causes, processes and extent remain uncertain, particularly given the associated changes in sediment availability. In...journal article 2023

Sun, P. (author), He, Z. (author), Kooij, Robert (author), Van Mieghem, P.F.A. (author)Optical networks are vulnerable to failures due to targeted attacks or large-scale disasters. The recoverability of optical networks refers to the ability of an optical network to return to a desired performance level after suffering topological perturbations such as link failures. This paper proposes a general topological approach and...journal article 2021

Sun, P. (author), Van Mieghem, P.F.A. (author), Kooij, Robert (author), He, Z. (author), Van Mieghem, Piet (author)In this paper, we propose closed-form analytic approximations for the minimum number of driver nodes needed to fully control networks, where links are removed according to both random and targeted attacks. Our approximations rely on the concept of critical links. A link is called critical if its removal increases the required number of driver...conference paper 2019
