“…Conversely, the mid-channel bars of the Congo River were found to be well-represented by MBB geometry. This discrepancy is attributed to the greater complexity of elements found in the tideinfluenced Mitchell Delta (Nanson et al, 2013), with more crescentic and sinuous shapes compared to the predominately elliptical shapes found in the Congo.…”

“…These include a comparison of geometric attributes and spatial connectivity from the Mitchell Delta, Gulf of Carpentaria, Australia -a tropical, tide-dominated, fluvial-influenced, and wave-affected marginal marine system (Nanson et al, 2013). Secondly, the method was a applied to the tropical intracratonic fluvial system of the Congo River, Democratic Republic of the Congo (Kadima et al, 2011), to assess attribute change analysis over 1200 km of the river's extent.…”

“…Apesar de ainda ser amplamente utilizado, o modelo pode não parecer adequado na classifi cação de alguns deltas, conforme ressaltaram Orton e Reading (1993), Dominguez (1996), Bhattacharya e Giosan (2003); Nanson et al (2013) e Anthony (2015. Há difi culdades, por exemplo, no caso de deltas com muitos lobos deltaicos ativos, como o delta do rio Danúbio, ou ainda no caso de diferenciar deltas dominados por marés de feições estuarinas.…”

Resumo:A formação de barreiras arenosas é comum em deltas dominados por ondas, associada ao expressivo aporte sedimentar dos rios. Nesses ambientes é possível o desenvolvimento de barreiras do tipo spit, ilha-barreira e sistema barreira-laguna. Historicamente essas feições foram associadas ao desenvolvimento assimétrico dos deltas e ao papel da deriva litorânea. Nesse sentido, o objetivo do presente trabalho é investigar a gênese e a morfodinâmica das barreiras arenosas que ocorrem no fl anco norte do delta do rio Paraíba do Sul, considerando aspectos relacionadas às porções submarina e emersa do delta. Foram calculados dados de ondas e sentido de transporte litorâneo; coletados perfi s batimétricos junto à costa, perfi s topográfi cos na barreira emersa e mapeamento em planta a partir de sensoriamento remoto sobre imagens de alta resolução espacial.

Among so many potential factors, detailed studies of the changes in the accretion of the YRD during 1953YRD during -1997 have shown that sediment input is the major factor driving progradation (e.g.…”

Progradation of the Yellow (Huanghe) River delta in response to the implementation of a basin-scale water regulation program

et al. 2015

The water and sediment supply to the lower reach and estuary of the Yellow (Huanghe) River have been altered to a very significant degree by the construction of numerous small to large reservoirs and the progressive implementation of water and soil conservation measures across the entire drainage basin since the late 1950s, followed by a basin-scale water regulation program since 2002. There is an urgent need to know how progradation of the Yellow River delta (YRD), an area on which people live and farm, has continued and will continue to respond to these controls. This study examines the changing patterns of water and sediment supply to the YRD over the period of 1950-2013 and, using remote sensing, it evaluates the morphological changes of the delta during 1976-2013. Although both water and sediment input to the delta have been described as declining significantly since the mid 1960s, we show that since 2005 the supply of water has remained at around 20 billion m 3 yr −1 and that for sediment at about 0.13 billion t yr −1 ; water input has been even slightly increasing. The dynamics of extension/shrinking and avulsion in river-mouth channels and accretion/erosion of shorelines is an integrated response to the complex variations in both sediment and water supply. This study develops a quantitative relationship between water and sediment supply and the area of land accretion and it predicts the critical condition for land accretion in the YRD. To ensure that delta land will not be lost, care is needed in the future implementation of the basin-scale water regulation program.
