Sedimentary facies characterization through CPTU profiles: An effective tool for subsurface investigation of modern alluvial and coastal plains

Sedimentology, Volume 70, Issue 4, Page 1302-1327, June 2023., 2023
ABSTRACT Cone penetration tests, a method that is typically used to determine the engineering properties of soils, can be used as an effective tool for refined subsurface stratigraphic investigations of alluvial and coastal plains, aside from the geographic location.

Stratigraphy and sedimentary evolution of a modern macro‐tidal incised valley: An analogue for reservoir facies and architecture

Sedimentology, Volume 69, Issue 2, Page 696-723, February 2022., 2022
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 ...

Influence of Ningbo–Zhoushan Port Main Corridor on the Tidal Current Dynamics in the Zhoushan Sea Area

Geofluids, Volume 2022, Issue 1, 2022., 2022
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.

Sedimentation on high‐energy sand flats in the Bay of Fundy: The record of tidal‐bore activity and deposition from high‐concentration suspensions of sand

Sedimentology, Volume 68, Issue 5, Page 2195-2226, August 2021., 2021
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 ...

A Nationwide Analysis of Water Scarcity and Cloud Seeding Demand Levels From Analyzing Water Utilization Data, Agricultural Drought Maps, and Local Conditions in China Mainland

Earth and Space Science, Volume 8, Issue 6, June 2021., 2021
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 ...

[Retracted] Extraction of Spatial Distribution Characteristics of Jiangnan Urban Landscape under the Influence of Geomorphology

Complexity, Volume 2021, Issue 1, 2021., 2021
This paper presents an in‐depth study and analysis of the spatial distribution of urban landscapes in Jiangnan cities under the influence of geomorphology and extracts the characteristics to explore the construction mechanism from the perspective of spatial functionality based on the analysis of the process and content of landscape construction.

1-D movable bed numerical forecast model of salinity of the Qiantang River estuarine reach and its application

Shui kexue jinzhan, 2015
The Qiantang River estuary is an alluvial estuary with strong tidal bore,high sediment concentration and easy changeable riverbed. The interaction between tide and fluvial feedback has great effects on saltwater intrusion.

Analysis and numerical simulation of the limiting factors of algal blooms in Qiantang River estuary

IOP Conference Series: Earth and Environmental Science, 2020
Abstract Algal blooms generally occur in lakes and reservoirs rather than macro-tidal estuary. However, algal blooms repeated in the Qiantang River estuary, a typical macro-tidal estuary, which has seriously influenced the aquatic environment and water supply in Hangzhou. A coupled hydrodynamic-ecological model was established to explore

Interaction of flow-riverbed and its effects on saltwater intrusion in Qiantang River estuary

Shui kexue jinzhan, 2015
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 ...
