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.

Revealing Population Connectivity of the Estuarine Tapertail Anchovy Coilia nasus in the Changjiang River Estuary and Its Adjacent Waters Using Otolith Microchemistry

Fishes, 2022
The estuarine tapertail anchovy, Coilia nasus, is a migratory fish with high economic value in China. We collected fish from the Changjiang River (the Yangtze River) estuary, the Qiantang River estuary, and the southern Yellow Sea, and studied their ...

Experimental Study on Vertical Bearing and Deformation Characteristics of Qiantang River Ancient Seawall

Buildings, 2023
Situated on the northern bank of the Qiantang River estuary, the ancient seawall serves not only as a national cultural relic but also as an active agent in flood and tide prevention.

Real-time characteristics of tidal bore propagation in the Qiantang River Estuary, China, recorded by marine radar [PDF]

Continental Shelf Research, 2019
Quantitative real-time observations of a tidal bore in a macro-tidal estuary are difficult and dangerous, particularly in large estuaries. Mathematical and numerical models have been used to predict tidal bore advances; however, to date, there have been no validations of large-scale flow patterns.

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)

Characteristics and accumulation model of the late Quaternary shallow biogenic gas in the modern Changjiang delta area, eastern China

Petroleum Science, 2017
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 ...

Empirical Orthogonal Function Analysis on Long-Term Profile Evolution of Tidal Flats along a Curved Coast in the Qiantang River Estuary, China

Journal of Marine Science and Engineering
: Tidal flats are dynamic coastal ecosystems continually reshaped by natural processes and human activities. This study investigates the application of Empirical Orthogonal Function (EOF) analysis to the long-term profile evolution of tidal flats along ...

Compound Flooding Potential from the Joint Occurrence of Precipitation and Storm Surge in the Qiantang Estuary, China

Journal of Hydrometeorology
Abstract 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.
