Abstract Incised valley fills are complex as they correspond to multiple sea‐level cycles which makes interpretation and correlation of stratigraphic surfaces fraught with uncertainty. Despite numerous studies of the stratigraphy of incised valley fills, few have focused on extensive core coverage linked to high fidelity dating in a macro‐tidal, tide ...

Ningbo–Zhoushan Port Main Corridor project is important in the development of Zhoushan City, but its impact on the hydrodynamic characteristics of the Zhoushan sea area is still unclear. Finite volume method is used in the present study to solve the shallow water equations and establish a plane two‐dimensional tidal current numerical model.

Abstract The Cobequid Bay – Salmon River estuary, Bay of Fundy, does not possess particularly large tidal bores (maximum ca 30 cm). Nevertheless, detailed logging of 13 peels made from cores spread throughout the entire area influenced by tidal bores indicates that inferred tidal‐bore deposits comprise approximately 15% of the deposits in the upper ...

Abstract China has lots of funds, materials, and human resources in cloud seeding operations to help with water shortage problems across the country. But there is little guide about when and where the operations would obtain better benefits. To fill this gap, the modified Water Utilization Level (WUL) map of China mainland was plotted with the ...

Influence of Tide and Runoff on Saltwater Intrusion in the Qiantang River Estuary, China
Abstract Qiantang River Estuary, as one of main fresh water resources for urban zone, has been threatened by salt water intrusion. Due to the combined influence of tide and runoff, the mechanism of saltwater intrusion is extremely complex.

A preliminary study on seasonal variations of sediment concentrations in the inner Qiantang Estuary
Abstract The Qiantang Estuary is characterized by high suspended sediment concentrations, due to the world-famous tidal bore. In this study, continuous sediment concentrations has been observed in the inner Qiantang Estuary in April, June, September and November of 2018, by fixing an OBS on a floating platform.

Interaction of flow-riverbed and its effects on saltwater intrusion in Qiantang River estuary
Based on the long term hydrological and bathymetric analysis,the morphological evolution in the estuary features the significantly large riverbed change,that is,the great erosion in runoff-dominated periods and the great sedimentation in tide-dominated ...
