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 …

Restoration of river deltas involves diverting sediment and water from major channels into
adjoining drowned areas, where the sediment can build new land and provide a platform for …

The morphologies of the world's deltas are thought to be determined by river discharge, tidal
range and wave action. More recently, sea-level rise, and human engineering have been …

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 …

The Mississippi delta region of south Louisiana houses a wealth of resources within a
dynamic, subsiding landscape. Foundations for the delta region reflect Neogene evolution of …

Modeling is an invaluable tool for studying sedimentary basin filling and for understanding
depositional processes with long recurrence intervals, including channel avulsion …

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 …

The decline of several of the world's largest deltas has spurred interest in expensive coastal
restoration projects to make these economically and ecologically vital regions more …

River delta complexes are built in part through repeated river‐channel avulsions, which
often occur about a persistent spatial node creating delta lobes that form a fan‐like …

Primary hydraulic and sedimentary controls on river deltas were previously postulated in
classification schemes in the field of sedimentary geology, based on many field …
