Land Reclamation Impacts on Tidal Landscape Evolution
Abstract In the past 1000 years, the continuous need for fertile and strategically located land has led to the reclamation of intertidal areas. The direct and short‐term impact of land reclamation is a reduction in intertidal storage space and the loss of ecological value.

Effect of contracted river on tidal bore in Qiantang Estuary
Since the late 1960s, the Qiantang Estuary has been narrowed on a large scale, significantly changing the water-sediment dynamics, riverbed evolution and their interaction processes.

Abstract Beach evolution severely impacts the economy and social well‐being of coastal communities, posing a threat to the safety of coastal infrastructure. Under the influence of rising sea levels and other various environmental variables, the coastal morphology of Eastern China has undergone significant changes, particularly in the low‐lying beach ...

Abstract The lack of sufficient in‐situ ocean observations significantly limits progress in studying the underwater marine environment. Fully analyzing the 4‐dimensional distribution of observation data, especially the changes over time and depth, allows for a broader and deeper application of marine data mining.
