Recent studies show that the global flux of river-derived sediment reaching coasts and oceans is about 15-19 x 109 tons per year. New budgets for major Asian river systems (e.g.,Yellow, Yangtze, Mekong, Ganges-Brahmaputra, etc.) suggest 30-50% their load has been retained in lower channel reaches to form an extensive subaerial delta plain, while rest discharged sea. Of ocean, half found accumulate near mouth as a proximal subaqueous clinothem. However,the remaining be transported up 600-800...
Abstract As the population and economy boom, more dams are being built in Mekong River basin. Previous studies have revealed that Manwan Dam had little influence on runoff–SSC (suspended sediment concentration) relationship, load was relatively stable over past 40 years. However, is known at present relationship among monsoons, El Niño Southern Oscillation (ENSO), precipitation, runoff, impact of delta dynamics. A comprehensive hydropower GIS database covering entire basin presented this...
<title>Abstract</title> Deltas are dynamic systems that form rich, fertile, and densely populated areas. The Nile, Indus, Yellow River deltas historically culturally important have experienced severe erosion land loss over the last 50 years. However, causes of these losses were not always clear, especially role natural human factors in evolution deltas. To address this issue, we analyzed years satellite data (1972–2022) using Landsat imagery Digital Shoreline Analysis System (DSAS) to assess...

Major rivers with high sediment or water discharge act as natural integrators of surficial processes, including human activities within their drainage basins, and they are also the primary sources terrestrial materials entering ocean. The river‐derived flux coastal oceans, however, has been strongly affected by anthropogenic activities. Recent studies related to impacts on river have mainly focused qualitative descriptions. Here we present a quantitative assessment decrease in from nine...
Abstract Internal solitary waves (ISWs) can cause strong vertical and horizontal currents turbulent mixing in the ocean. These processes affect sediment pollutant transport, acoustic transmissions man-made structures shallow deep oceans. Previous studies of role ISWs suspending seafloor sediments forming marine nepheloid layers were mainly conducted shallow-water environments. In summer 2017, we observed at least four thick (70–140 m) benthic (BNLs) water depths between 956 1545 m over...
