The Changjiang (Yangtze) is one of the largest rivers in the world. It formed a huge incised valley at its mouth during the Last Glacial Maximum; the incised-valley fill, approximately 80–110 m thick, supplies an important foundation for the generation ...

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.

In order to investigate the residual characteristics, sources, and ecological risk of PAHs in sediment from urban rivers, the sediments of 15 typical sites from Qinhuai River and Xuanwu Lake, which are typical urban rivers and lake, were collected from October 2015 to July 2016; the sources of PAHs in sediment were also identified by several methods ...

Abstract Conventional methods of measuring water discharge and suspended sediment concentration (e.g., water sampling and moving acoustic Doppler current profiler [ADCP]) present challenges in large tidal rivers due to temporal and spatial constraints.

Dissolved organic nitrogen in the river test and estuary
Studies of nutrients in rivers and estuaries have generally focused on dissolved inorganic nitrogen (DIN), although this accounts for only a part of the total nitrogen (TN) in these systems.

Evolution of tidal flats influenced by tidal bores and runoff in the Qiantang Estuary, China
Tidal flats provide crucial ecosystem services and coastal protection. Comprehending the evolution of tidal flats, influenced by tidal bores and runoff, is key to protecting these environments in the Qiantang Estuary′s tidal bore zones.

Abstract China has experienced substantial coastal reclamation and damming of rivers. These changes have the potential to impact migrations of diadromous fishes between the sea and fresh waters, but the composition of these fishes and the impacts of barriers to their movement in China have received little attention.

Oscillatory and regularized shock waves for a modified Serre–Green–Naghdi system
Abstract The Serre–Green–Naghdi equations of water wave theory have been widely employed to study undular bores. In this study, we introduce a modified Serre–Green–Naghdi system incorporating the effect of an artificial term that results in dispersive and dissipative dynamics.

Economic Development Drives Massive Global Estuarine Loss in the Anthropocene
Abstract Estuaries have great ecological and economic value and sustain both population and economic growth. Global‐scale analyses suggest that human activities drive estuarine area change but these projections neglect direct human‐estuary interactions and socio‐economic feedbacks.
