Millions of tons of riverine plastic waste enter the ocean via estuaries annually. The plastics
accumulate, fragment, mix and interact with organisms in these dynamic systems, but such …

The 1500km-long coast of South America between the Amazon and the Orinoco river
mouths is the world's muddiest. This is due to the huge suspended-sediment discharge of …

The study of source‐to‐sink systems relates long‐term variations in sediment flux to
morphogenic evolution of erosional–depositional systems. These variations are caused by …

Over the past 60years, climate change and human activities in the Huanghe (Yellow River)
basin have changed the river system. In particular, construction of large reservoirs and soil …

This cutting-edge summary combines ideas from several sub-disciplines including geology,
geomorphology, oceanography and geochemistry to provide an integrated view of Earth …

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

Studies of fine-grained sediment dispersal in the marine environment have documented
diversity in the behavior of depositional systems on continental margins with different …

New models to predict settling velocity and effective density of flocs are proposed. The
models are based on the concept of fractal geometry, but with the assumption of variable …

Pollution of coastal regions of the Great Barrier Reef World Heritage Area (GBRWHA) is
dominated by river discharge associated with agricultural development of the adjacent …

Eight survey cruises in different seasons have been conducted in the Yellow Sea (YS) and
East China Sea (ECS) during the period from 2000 to 2008. Suspended sediment …
