Response of Shallow Gas‐Charged Holocene Deposits in the Yangtze Delta to Meter‐Scale Erosion Induced by Diminished Sediment Supply: Increasing Greenhouse Gas Emissions

Abstract

Located in the land-ocean interaction zone, river deltas are highly dynamic landforms. In recent decades, they have been modified dramatically due to expanding populations and economic development in their drainage basins (Nilsson et al., 2005). For instance, sediment loads have decreased considerably as a result of reservoir trapping, water resource utilization, and water-soil conservation measures (
