Abstract:<p>Delta deposits show large spatial heterogeneity in terms of depositional rate and age, which is critical to the study of delta erosion in response to the declining fluvial sediment load observed at many river mouths in the world. In this study, we demonstrate the magnetic susceptibility (&#967;) as a rough indicator to reveal age variations and stratigraphic heterogeneity in the Yangtze River subaqueous delta. Ages of three short sediment cores (<2 m) collected at 20-32 m water … Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
