Suspended and deposited sediments in streams can interfere with filter-feeding caddisfly larvae by reducing feeding sites and feeding efficiency, potentially lowering the densities, growth rates, and secondary production of an important trout prey. We co...

Predicting morphological adjustments in alluvial meandering streams remains a challenging task due to the complex nature of the governing inter-related dynamic flow and sediment transport processes. This difficulty is increased in streams with irregular ...

In environmental flows, field and laboratory measurements of suspended sediments show two kinds of concentration profiles. For coarse sediments, a near-bed upward convex profile is observed beneath the main upward concave profile. In this study, we consi...

In this study, we analyzed the clay mineralogy and geochemistry of surface and drill core samples from the northeastern Beibu Gulf in order to unravel the sediment provenance of, and factors controlling, the sedimentary environment. The main clay mineral...

Turbulence related to flow oscillations near the seabed, in the wave bottom boundary layer (WBBL), is the phenomenon responsible for the suspension and transport of sediments. The vertical distribution of turbulent eddy viscosity within the WBBL is a key...

About 80% of the seabed of the English Channel (EC) is covered by coarse sediment, from coarse sand to pebbles. Quantitative data on the benthic macrofauna in these types of sediment remains are rare due to the difficulty of using grab corers in such har...

A few decades ago, river erosion protective approaches were widely implemented, such as straightening the river course, enhancing riverbed/bank stability with layers of concrete or riprap, and increasing channel conveyance capacity (i.e., overwidening). ...

Globally, coastal regions are vital areas of human activity and, as such, are centers of population growth and urban and economic development. Long-term human development has had a major impact on the ecological environment of coastal zones. Therefore, e...

The development of loess landforms is controlled by underlying, pre-existing paleotopography. Previous studies have focused on the inheritance of loess landform and the control of underlying paleotopography on modern terrain based on the digital elevatio...

Organic matter burial in the deep-sea fan sediments is an important component of the long-term carbon cycle. Although there is increasing recognition of the importance of organic matter in deep-sea sediments, a major focus has been on mudstones, commonly...
