Journal ArticleDOI

Evolution of the Rhône delta plain in the Holocene

TL;DR: In this paper, a radiocarbon chronology for the accumulation of the sedimentary bodies and an interpretation of the morphology of the mouth lobes that they form are presented, and the role of the accommodation space is confirmed by two recent drillholes traversing the entire Holocene succession.
Journal ArticleDOI

Recent morphological changes in the Mekong and Bassac river channels, Mekong delta: The marked impact of river-bed mining and implications for delta destabilisation

TL;DR: In this article, changes in the channel morphology of the Mekong proper and the Bassac, the two main distributaries in the 250 km-long deltaic reach from the Cambodian border to the coast, were analyzed using channel depth data for 1998 and 2008.
Journal ArticleDOI

Sediment budget of the Rhône delta shoreface since the middle of the 19th century

TL;DR: In this article, the authors analyzed long-term changes in the Grand Rhone prodeltaic lobe to quantify the accumulation, determine the evolution of relict proccedeltaic lobes and establish longterm relationships between river sediment discharge, the shoreface and the continental shelf.
Journal ArticleDOI

Suspended sediment and 137Cs fluxes during the exceptional December 2003 flood in the Rhone River, southeast France

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated downstream all the nuclear installations by using measured and calculated fluxes and the total export of suspended sediment and associated 137 Cs and found that these solid loads were lower than those expected as regards the liquid discharge reached during this event and suggested that previous floods that occurred on the river and on its main tributaries during the last decade have probably led to the removal of available sediment from the channels and their banks.
Journal ArticleDOI

Geomorphological evidence for fluvial change during the Roman period in the lower Rhone valley (southern France)

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors studied the hydrological and geomorphological dynamics of the lower Rhone river during the Roman period (2nd-1st centuries BC, 2nd-3rd centuries AD).
