geologic setting and sediment sources in thedrainage basin, tectonic stability, riverslopeand flooding characteristics, intensities of depositional and erosional processes, and tidal range and offshore energy conditions. Combinations of these factors and time give rise to the wide variety of modern delta...
Sediment fingerprinting in fluvial systems: review of tracers, sediment sources and mixing models (125 citations) Research areas of the most cited articles at International Journal of Sediment Research: The most cited papers investigate areas of study like Sediment, Hydrology, Sediment transport, Surfac...
The modeling of river discharge under future climate change suggests that increases in Ganges–Brahmaputra sediment load of 34–60%38are possible, which would be a substantial increase in sediment delivered to the delta and thus a potentially important buffer against accelerated rates of sea-level ri...
A challenge that limits high-latitude paleo-environment investigations is the lack of foraminiferal shell-bearing sediments for stratigraphy constructions. In the Arctic, the Mn-rich brown layers have been proposed as a new approach to establish glacial-interglacial timescale stratigraphy, but their form...
The impoundment of the Three Gorges Dam on the Yangtze River begins in 2003 and a full pool level is first attained in 2010. This process leads to reciprocal adjustments in flow discharge, sediment transport and morphology downstream of the dam. Based on
The potential local sediment sources of a coastal barrier dune in South Africa were analysed to assess their relationships with the barrier and whether these have varied with time. Results indicate that the oldest part of the barrier, partly formed during MIS 6 when sea levels were lower than ...
This process has the most pronounced effect during short hydrological periods due to the remobilization of fresh and readily available in-channel deposits that act as sediment sources. This process often occurs when sufficient material has accumulated on the channel bed during the pre-event period (...

To better understand YRD evolution and to contribute to forecasting of its future under changing climate and sea-level conditions, it is important to gain knowledge of sediment sources, particularly marine sources, from the neighbouring OYR delta. Magnetic properties of sediments have been used to ...
