Tidal rivers are a vital and little studied nexus between physical oceanography and
hydrology. It is only in the last few decades that substantial research efforts have been …

Waves are an important agent in the construction, shaping and destruction of river deltas.
Notwithstanding the commonality of waves in oceans and seas, wave influence on deltas …

River delta degradation has been caused by extraction of natural resources, sediment
retention by reservoirs, and sea-level rise. Despite global concerns about these issues …

The effects of sea-level rise on the future morphological functioning of estuaries are largely
unknown because tidal amplitudes will change due to combined deepening of the estuary …

Analogues, especially outcrop analogues, have played a central role in improving
understanding of subsurface reservoir architectures. Analogues provide important …

Bars and subaqueous levees often form at river mouths due to high sediment availability.
Once these deposits emerge and develop into islands, they become important elements of …

There is a pressing need to understand how different delta morphologies arise because
morphology determines a delta's ecologic structure, resilience to relative sea‐level rise, and …

River deltas are dynamic systems whose channels can widen, narrow, migrate, avulse, and
bifurcate to form new channel networks through time. With hundreds of millions of people …

Rivers are the great shapers of terrestrial landscapes. Very few points on Earth above sea
level do not lie within a drainage basin. Even points distant from the nearest channel are …

Morphological evolution of river deltas depends to a large extent on river discharges, which
are usually highly unsteady due to natural hydrological cycles and anthropogenic …
