TL;DR: The 165 year morphological evolution of the Changjiang (Yangtze) Estuary and its long-term equilibrium characteristics have been investigated using 16 selected maritime charts from 1842 to 2006.

TL;DR: In this article, magnetic properties of both bulk sediment samples and different-sized particles from the Changjiang and Huanghe Estuaries are studied to discuss the origin of the sediments.

TL;DR: In this article, a 3D model of the Haihe tide lock was developed to investigate how high the dredging efficiency is, how far the resuspended sediment can be transported by the ebb currents, and is the sediment carried back by the next flood tide.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined long-term morphodynamic evolution in the Yangtze Estuary from 1861 to 2002 and the equilibrium mechanism of the Xinqiao Channel by digitizing 15 selected maritime charts and calculating the volume of the channel.

TL;DR: Tidal phase plays a major role in controlling sediment discharge from the Yangtze River estuary in eastern China as mentioned in this paper, where direct measurements indicate that during spring tide in mid-November 1981 approximately 3 times the sediment passed down the main channel of the river as during the next neap tide, 3 days later.
