Mapping Suspended Sediment Changes in the Western Pacific Coasts

open access: yesRemote Sensing, 2023
The Western Pacific Coasts (WPC) are the outlets of many large Asian rivers. In recent years, the interplay of climate changes and human activities has persistently altered the suspended sediment concentrations (SSC) in the WPC, triggering substantial ...

Effects of tidal-forcing variations on tidal properties along a narrow convergent estuary [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
A 1D analytical framework is implemented in a narrow convergent estuary that is 78 km in length (the Guadiana, Southern Iberia) to evaluate the tidal dynamics along the channel, including the effects of neap-spring amplitude variations at the mouth.

Suppression of local haze variations in MERIS images over turbid coastal waters for retrieval of suspended sediment concentration [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Atmospheric correction over turbid waters can be problematic if atmospheric haze is spatially variable. In this case the retrieval of water quality is hampered by the fact that haze variations could be partly mistaken for variations in suspended sediment

Assessment of physicochemical properties of suspended sediment in Yangtze river estuary

open access: yesPhysical Geography, 2023
The physicochemical properties of suspended sediment affect the adsorption of heavy metals. Based on scanning electron microscopy-energy dispersive X-ray spectrometry and Image Pro Plus, we detected the physicochemical properties of suspended sediment in Yangtze Estuary.

Nitrate sources and dynamics in a salinized river and estuary : a δ15N-NO₃⁻ and δ18O-NO₃⁻ isotope approach [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
To trace NO3- sources and assess NO3- dynamics in salinized rivers and estuaries, three rivers (Haihe River: HH River, Chaobaixin River: CB River and Jiyun River: JY River) and two estuaries (HH Estuary and CJ Estuary) along the Bohai Bay (China) have ...

Springtime migratory restlessness and departure orientation of Great Knots (Calidris tenuirostris) in the south compared to the north Yellow Sea

open access: yesAvian Research, 2017
Background The motivation of birds to proceed with migration is associated with both endogenous and exogenous factors. According to their migratory situation and to the characteristics of stopover sites, birds might exhibit migratory motivation ...
