Most tide-dominated estuarine and deltaic deposits accumulate in the fluvial-to-marine transition zone, which is one of the most complicated areas on earth, because of the large …
The world's coastlines represent a myriad of dynamic and constantly changing environments. Heavily settled and intensely used areas, they are of enormous importance to …
Some of the principles of tidal-wave theory and examples of mega-, macro-, meso-and microtidal coasts are reviewed, as well as sedimentary successions showing general tidal …

Delta bathymetry, seismic data and near-surface sediment sampling on modern deltas with significant wave, tidal or marine current influence betray a double clinoform architecture with …
Recent field observations from several shelf environments show that gravity-driven transport within negatively buoyant layers is an important mode of fine sediment transport across …
This paper reviews the state of the art in the concept as well as in the application of sediment budgets in sedimentary research. Sediments are a product of mass dispersal at the Earth …
Among tidally influenced sedimentary environments, tide-dominated deltas are perhaps the most variable and difficult to characterize. This variability is due in part to the major role that …
Along their fluvial to marine transition zone, tide-dominated river deltas show upstream to downstream trends in channel width, sinuosity, and depth, which at present have been only …
The largest islands of the Indo-Pacific Archipelago are estimated to account for 20–25% of the global sediment discharge to the ocean, and much (> 50%) of this sediment is supplied …
