A large fraction of mercury contaminant in the environment is from industrial production, and it potentially impairs human health once entering the food chain. Millions of people reside in the Pearl River Delta region, and water quality in the estuary di...

To study the processes that govern the post-depositional mobility of metals in the estuarine sediment, five sediment cores were sampled in the Krka River estuary (Croatia). The obtained concentration ranges in the pore water were 0.057?49.7 µM for Fe, 0....

Effectively simulating the variation in suspended sediment concentration (SSC) in estuaries during typhoons is significant for the water quality and ecological conditions of estuarine shoal wetlands and their adjacent coastal waters. During typhoons, SSC...

The morphological changes in an estuarine bay are affected by fluvial and oceanic dynamics, as well as human activities. Human activity has increased considerably in recent years, especially in Lingding Bay of the Pearl River Estuary. Based on mass measu...

Estuaries are continuously adapting to anthropogenic pressure. Because of sea-level rise and reduced fluvial sediment supply, they are at risk of sediment starvation. Contrarily, some estuaries require frequent dredging after artificially deepening the c...

River mouths are dynamic systems that can respond rapidly to both fluxes in fluvial water and sediment discharge and marine energy conditions, notably waves. On semi-arid wave-exposed coasts, the morphosedimentary behaviour of river mouths is particularl...

The spatial variations in Quaternary sediments on the inner continental shelf are produced by the progression of depositional environments during the latest sea-level rise, and this sedimentary architecture plays a fundamental role in controlling groundw...
