A unique Yellow River-derived distal subaqueous delta in the Yellow Sea
Marine Geology, 2007Abstract Newly acquired high-resolution Chirp sonar profiles reveal a unique Yellow River-derived, alongshore distributed, bidirectional (landward and seaward) across-shelf transported, omega-shaped (“Ω”) distal subaqueous deltaic lobe deposited around the eastern tip of the Shandong Peninsula in the Yellow Sea.

Land Subsidence as a Result of Sediment Consolidation in the Yellow River Delta
Journal of Coastal Research, 2007Land subsidence due to consolidation of sediment was analyzed in the Yellow River delta, using lithological data of deposits, equations of soil mechanics, and empirical relations. Subsidence in an abandoned deltaic lobe largely results from the consolidation of deltaic clay layers accumulated in the prodelta, the bays, and marine clay layers underlying

Environmental Degradation in the Yellow River Delta, Shandong Province, China
AMBIO: A Journal of the Human Environment, 2007Abstract Although China has experienced economic progress since 1978, environmental degradation has caused many problems due to population increases and demand for natural resources. These pressures have led to the use of inappropriate cultivation methods in agriculture, forestry, and livestock raising, and increasing amounts of vegetation and forests ...

Feammox in the Yellow River Delta wetlands is weak
Soil ResearchContext Anaerobic ammonium oxidation coupled with iron (III) reduction (feammox) is an important nitrogen loss pathway in natural ecosystems. This is the first research to investigate the feammox process in the Yellow River Delta wetlands. Aims

Historical changes in the Yellow River delta, China
Marine Geology, 1993Abstract The lower Yellow River delta has experienced numerous avulsions during the last 2000 years and the floodplain can be divided into four provinces: alluvial fan, western plain, middle plain and eastern plain (coastal deltas). The Yellow River delta complex is composed of several delta superlobes resulting from shifts in the lower river channel,

Natural and anthropogenic hazards in the Yellow River Delta, China
Natural Hazards, 2016In China, the Yellow River Delta is a unique region with vulnerable ecosystems, and it is under the largest pressure from various risk sources. In recent years, this region has experienced rapid economic growth. However, the delta is vulnerable to environmental hazards and is seriously affected by various natural and anthropogenic hazards, such as ...

Primary study on the diapir in the north of the Yellow River delta
Science in China Series D: Earth Sciences, 1999Based on the measuring data of landforms, high-resolution seismic profiles, drilling cores, etc, a diapir body was found in the north of the modem Yellow River delta. The diapir body with a length of 5 km and a width of 1 km is distributed on the middle to low part of the slope of an abandoned delta lobe.

Overbank and channelfill deposits of the modern Yellow River delta
Sedimentary Geology, 1994Abstract The Huanghe is noted for its high transport rate of silt and clay, which may reach depth-averaged values of 200 kg m−3 during peak discharge. The sediment load transported through the river on entering the delta plain, amounts to 1012 kg per year. In contrast to most other large deltas only one distributary channel is active at any one time.

Study on Ecological Environment Assessment of Yellow River Delta
Advanced Materials Research, 2013Some eco-environmental factors are analyzed by RS, and population and GDP spatial distribution are obtained from statistical data. By combining AHP methods for determining weights, comprehensive index method is used to evaluate the eco-environmental quality of Yellow River Delta (YRD) on three scales: raster, administrative region, and delta.
