Investigation of Flocculation Characteristics in the Yangtze Estuary

The dynamic process of flocculation is crucial for the transport and fate of cohesive sediment and adherent nutrients, heavy metals and pollutants etc. In order to improve the understanding of sediment flocculation dynamics in the estuary, field surveys in the Yangtze Estuary and laboratory experiments with natural mixed sediment were conducted.

Effectiveness of Ecosystem‐Based Coastal Defenses Against Flooding

Earth's Future, Volume 14, Issue 3, March 2026.
Abstract Coastal flooding is growing substantially as storms increase and sea levels rise rapidly due to climate change. It is therefore important to find safe and sustainable ways to protect coastal communities against this growing risk. However, the effectiveness of traditional coastal defenses (hard seawalls) (HS) is being questioned due to concerns

Dramatic Decline in Organic Carbon Burial in Big Estuary Driven by Dam Construction: Insights From the Yellow River Estuary

Earth's Future, Volume 14, Issue 3, March 2026.
Abstract Estuaries and associated shelf deposits, which bury 70%–90% of global marine organic carbon, making them key sites for marine carbon burial. Variations in total organic carbon (TOC) content and the organic carbon burial rate (OCBR) in these sediments strongly influence carbon sequestration dynamics.

Kelvin-Helmholtz Billows Induced by Shear Instability along the North Passage of the Yangtze River Estuary, China

Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2019
Kelvin-Helmholtz (K-H) instability plays a significant role in mixing. To investigate the existence of K-H instability along the North Passage of the Yangtze River Estuary, the non-hydrostatic model NHWAVE is utilized to simulate the fresh-salt water ...

Differential Effects of Increasing Salinity on Germination and Seedling Growth of Native and Exotic Invasive Cordgrasses [PDF]

, 2019
Soil salinity is a key environmental factor influencing germination and seedling establishment in salt marshes. Global warming and sea level rise are changing estuarine salinity, and may modify the colonization ability of halophytes.
