Landscape genetic structure of Scirpus mariqueter reveals a putatively adaptive differentiation under strong gene flow in estuaries [PDF]
Ecology and Evolution, 2019 Estuarine organisms grow in highly heterogeneous habitats, and their genetic differentiation is driven by selective and neutral processes as well as population colonization history.

Distinct patterns of distribution, community assembly and cross-domain co-occurrence of planktonic archaea in four major estuaries of China [PDF]
Environmental Microbiome, 2023 Background Archaea are key mediators of estuarine biogeochemical cycles, but comprehensive studies comparing archaeal communities among multiple estuaries with unified experimental protocols during the same sampling periods are scarce.

A preliminary study on seasonal variations of sediment concentrations in the inner Qiantang Estuary
IOP Conference Series: Earth and Environmental Science, 2020 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.

Sedimentation processes and sedimentary characteristics of tidal bores along the north bank of the Qiantang Estuary [PDF]
Chinese Science Bulletin, 2012 A tidal bore is a unique Earth surface process, characterized by its highly destructive energy, predictable periodicities and magnitudes, and the production of characteristic sedimentary features. Tidal bores and associated rapid flood flows are highly turbulent flows of the upper-flow regime with a velocity over several meters per second. Reynolds (Re)

Extreme wave and storm surge characteristics in the southeastern coastal and offshore regions of China [PDF]
Scientific ReportsA numerical model is established based on the FVCOM-SWAVE wave-current coupling model to investigate the typhoon-induced wave and storm surge level in the southeastern coastal and offshore regions of China. A hindcast of 192 typhoons from 1979 to 2023 is

Tidal Bore Dynamics Around the Similar Right-Angle Shoreline in the Qiantang Estuary, China
China Ocean Engineering, 2022 Tidal bores are a unique hydrodynamic phenomenon during flood tide in the Qiantang Estuary. The tidal bore propagation around the similar right-angle shoreline is rarely documented in tidal estuaries.

EFFECTS OF HYPERCONCENTRATION-RELATED DRAG REDUCTION ON TIDAL PROPAGATION IN THE QIANTANG ESTUARY
Coastal Engineering Proceedings, 2018 The Qiantang Estuary (QE) in the east coast of China is famous for its hyperconcentrated tidal bore with the highest sediment concentration up to about 80 kg/m3 (Pan et al., 2013). Recent research for some European estuaries has indicated that hyperconcentrated environment may affect tidal propagation through hydraulic drag reduction, resulting in an ...

Journal of HydrometeorologyAbstract In coastal regions, compound flooding, driven by multiple flood hazard sources, can cause greater damage than when the flood drivers occur in isolation. This study focuses on compound flooding from extreme precipitation and storm surge in China’s Qiantang Estuary.

Turbulence, Sediment‐Induced Stratification, and Mixing Under Macrotidal Estuarine Conditions (Qiantang Estuary, China) [PDF]
Journal of Geophysical Research: Oceans, 2019 AbstractTime series of in situ measured velocity and suspended sediment concentration from Qiantang Estuary (China), and estimates of turbulence and sediment stratification parameters are presented. The data span a period of 9 days, and after phase averaged, they are used to explore spring‐neap tidal variations in flow, turbulence, and sediment ...
