Sediment transport in Yangtze River Estuary reshaping coastal landscapes.

Coastal Dynamics

The study looked at how sediment moves in Lingding Bay. They found that sediment concentration changes with tide and runoff. Sediment resuspension happens after tidal strength changes. The highest turbidity is near station 0303. Upstream, sediment moves towards land during floods, and downstream during ebbs. Sediment transport in Lingding Bay is influenced by Lagrange, tide trapping, and vertical circulation.
