Sediment flux from rivers to oceans is the fundamental driver of fluvio‐deltaic morphodynamics and continental margin sedimentation, yet sediment transport across the …

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 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 …

Recent field work at the Wax Lake Delta (WLD) in coastal Louisiana indicates lateral outflow from channels to islands upstream of the receiving basin; in this region of the delta the flow …
Deltaic systems are composed of distributary channels and interdistributary islands. While previous work has focused either on the channels or on the islands, here we study the …
We present a general model for channel inception and evolution in the deep sea by integrating observations from two complementary datasets:(1) high-resolution multibeam …

Abstract The modern Huanghe Delta used to be the most rapid land-building delta in the world. Its evolution has become a global concern because the sediment load of the …
Densely populated river deltas are losing land at an alarming rate and to successfully restore these environments we must understand the details of their morphology. Toward this …
Mouth bars are morphological units important for deltas, estuaries, or rivers debouching into the sea. Several processes affect the formation of these deposits. This paper focuses on the …
