Application of unmanned aerial vehicle technology in geomorphological evolution of tidal flat
Tidal flats are fragile and delicate. Studies show that anthropogenic pressures and sea level rise due to climate changes have an effect and play a vital role in the morphodynamics of tidal flats worldwide.

Pond fractals in a tidal flat [PDF]
Studies over the past decade have reported power-law distributions for the areas of terrestrial lakes and Arctic melt ponds, as well as fractal relationships between their areas and coastlines. Here we report similar fractal structure of ponds in a tidal flat, thereby extending the spatial and temporal scales on which such phenomena have been observed ...

Influences of Tidal Flat and Thermal Discharge on Heat Dynamics in Xiangshan Bay
Water temperature in estuaries is sensitive to thermal discharges and expansive tidal flats; as such, this parameter is essential in maintaining estuarine ecosystem. Semi-enclosed water bodies with poor water exchange easily accumulate heat.

Evolution of tidal flat in response to storm surges:a case study from the central Jiangsu Coast
The response of tidal flats to storm surges is an important scientific problem in the evolution of tidal flats under climate change. To investigate the evolution of silt-muddy tidal flats in response to storm surges along the Jiangsu coast,the measured ...
