Arising from the non‐uniform dispersal of sediment and water that build deltaic landscapes,
morphological change is a fundamental characteristic of river delta behavior. Thus …

Abstract The modern Yellow River Delta (YRD) has witnessed frequent channel avulsions
followed by the morphological processes of “wandering‐short‐lived braiding‐merging” in …

River avulsions are an important mechanism by which sediment is routed and emplaced in
foreland basins. However, because avulsions occur infrequently, we lack observational data …

Dune-scale cross-beds are a fundamental building block of fluvial-deltaic stratigraphy and
have been recognized on Earth and other terrestrial planets. The architecture of these stratal …

Reduced sediment supply and rising sea levels are driving land submergence on deltas
worldwide, motivating engineering practices that divert water and sediment to sustain …

Abstract The Ba Lai distributary channel of the Mekong River Delta was abandoned and
infilled with sediment during the Late Holocene, providing a unique opportunity to …

Fluvial fans are large, low-gradient depositional systems that occur in sedimentary basins
worldwide. Fluvial fans can represent much of the geologic record of foreland basins, create …

This dissertation examines dynamics of delta building across different spatial and temporal
scales using field measurements and remotely-sensed data collected from the Selenga …

As an inevitable result of fluvial-deltaic avulsions, abandoned distributary channels and
associated lobes form an important component of coastal marine systems, serving as a …

Peatlands are essential to the global carbon cycle as the terrestrial carbon storage capacity
of these environments may store the equivalent of two-thirds, if not more, of atmospheric …
