Optimized Design for Large Geotextile Mats over Soft Soil

Advances in Civil Engineering, 2021
In this paper, the failure mechanisms of large geotextile mats over soft soil are carried out through finite element analyses. A finite element model is generated and validated against centrifuge testing data and previously published data of numerical ...

Tidal River Flood Risk Highest During Intermediate Rather Than Peak River Discharge

AGU Advances, Volume 7, Issue 3, June 2026.
Abstract Tidal rivers are defined as the tide‐influenced, salinity‐free inland reaches of estuaries. Understanding the occurrence of peak water levels (PWLs) is critical for flood risk management, yet the timing and magnitude of PWLs in tidal rivers have been little studied. We address this gap by investigating PWLs during two catastrophic floods (1954

Food web structure and trophic diversity for the fishes of four islands in the Pearl River Estuary, China

Ecological Indicators
The Wanshan Archipelago, situated in the Pearl River Estuary, stood as a key fishing ground in China, boasting abundant fishery resources. To investigate variations in trophic niches and food sources among different islands within the Wanshan Archipelago,

Dissolved Organic Matter (DOM) Dynamics at the Sediment‐Water Interface in the North Sea: Implications for Global Benthic DOM Fluxes

Global Biogeochemical Cycles, Volume 40, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract Sediment–water exchange of dissolved organic matter (DOM) represents a critical yet poorly constrained component of the marine carbon cycle. Here, we combine quantitative, molecular, and carbon isotope (δ13C and F14C) analyses to investigate the production, composition, and export of porewater DOM in the German Bight, North Sea, and evaluate ...

Metagenomic profiles of planktonic bacteria and resistome along a salinity gradient in the Pearl River Estuary, South China.

Science of the Total Environment, 2023
Estuarine ecosystems undergo pronounced and intricate changes due to the mixing of freshwater and saltwater. Additionally, urbanization and population growth in estuarine regions result in shifts in the planktonic bacterial community and the accumulation

Response of the Nitrogen Isotopic Composition of Planktic Foraminifer Tissue to Surface Ocean Nutrient Cycling: A Case Study in the Northern South China Sea

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, Volume 27, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract This study presents data on geographically small‐scale patterns of nitrogen (N) isotope signals (δ15N) within the northern South China Sea (SCS) imprinted on planktic foraminifers (PF). PF from net tows on the shelf, continental slope, and in pelagic waters from summer 2019 were analyzed for δ15N.

Measurement report: Nocturnal subsidence behind the cold front enhances surface particulate matter in plains regions: observations from the mobile multi-lidar system [PDF]

Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics
A multi-lidar system, mounted in a vehicle to monitor the profiles of temperature, wind, and particle optical properties, was utilized to investigate the winter fine particulate matter (PM2.5) pollution from a vertical perspective in four cities in China

A Framework for Modeling Tropical Cyclone‐Induced Compound Flooding of the Continental US: Demonstrated in New Orleans

Water Resources Research, Volume 62, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract Compound flooding involves the interaction of multiple flood processes (e.g., coastal, fluvial, and pluvial) and is modulated by several factors (e.g., weather, climate, topobathy, morphology, time‐lag). In tropical and subtropical regions globally, Tropical Cyclones (TCs) are a primary cause of compound flooding as they generate substantial ...

Organophosphate flame retardants and their metabolites in the Pearl River Estuary: Occurrence, influencing factors, and ecological risk control strategies based on a mass balance model.

Environment International
Estuaries serve as crucial filters for land-based pollutants to the open sea, but there is a lack of information on the migration and fate of organophosphate flame retardants (OPFRs) within estuaries.

Controls on Flow Separation at the River Bifurcation Head

Water Resources Research, Volume 62, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract Flow separation zones are common hydrodynamic features in river bifurcations, strongly influencing flow partitioning and channel morphology. While the inner‐bank separation zones have been widely recognized, we identify a previously underreported separation zone at the bifurcation head.
