In 5 recent years (2000–2004), the Changjiang (Yangtze) River has discharged past Datong (600 km from river mouth) an average of ∼250 million tons (mt) sediment per year, a decrease more than 40% since 1950s and 1960s, whereas water discharge at increased slightly. Water data upper, middle, lower reaches suggest that reduction load occurred in two phases between 1950 2002: following closure Danjiangkou Reservoir on Hanjiang tributary 1968 installation numerous dams water‐soil conservation...
A well-placed 210Pb-dated sediment core extracted from the distal mud in central continental shelf of East China Sea is used to reconstruct high-resolution atmospheric depositional record polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), believed be transported mainly past 200 years due Asian Monsoon. Total PAHs (TPAHs), based on 16 USEPA priority PAHs, range 27 1788 132 ng g(-1) 2001. TPAH variation reflects energy usage changes and follows closely historical economic development China. are...
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. The Three Gorges Dam (TGD) on the upper Changjiang (Yangtze River), China, disrupts continuity of sediment delivery to downstream and coastal areas. In this study, which was based 54 years annual water data from mainstream major tributaries Changjiang, deposition induced by TGD in 2003–2008 quantified. Furthermore, we determined theoretical trapping efficiency cascade reservoir upstream TGD. Its impact flux coming decades is discussed. Results show that about 172 million tons (Mt)...
