Gao, Weilun (author), Nienhuis, Jaap (author), Nardin, William (author), Wang, Zhengbing (author), Shao, Dongdong (author), Sun, Tao (author), Cui, Baoshan (author)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...journal article 2020
