The definition of the threshold of sediment motion is critical for marine sediment dynamics.The work by A.Shields laid the foundation for this research direction.
Coastal sediment transport is a complex,multiscale,and dynamic process,but it is of great important for coastal morphology,water quality,and coastal navigation safety.
Water current,salinity,and suspended sediment concentration(SSC)were measured at three anchored boat sites along the North Passage(NP)of the Changjiang Estuary over a spring-neap tidal cycle,in order
Estuaries usually feature complex bathymetries,where shoal and channel are coexistent.Due to the differences in water depth,current,density gradient and therefore stratification,sediment dynamics of s
An estuary can be thought of as a stirring machine that combines high salinity water from the ocean with fresh water from the river to form intermediate-salinity water.
