Transport and deposition of river sediment in the Changjiang estuary and adjacent continental shelf
TL;DR: In this article, the authors used hydrographic observations, suspended-sediment measurements, and historical data to identify transport paths and sinks for sediment within the Changjiang estuary and adjacent shelf and estimated that 40% of sediment load in the river is deposited in the estuary, mostly in and seaward of the South Channel.
Journal ArticleDOI
Modern Huanghe-derived muds on the outer shelf of the East China Sea: identification and potential transport mechanisms
TL;DR: In this article, Radiometric dating suggests that at least the surface of this mud deposit is contemporaneous, although the rate of accumulation may be slow, and part of the sediment may be derived from present-day erosion of the ancient Huanghe submarine delta off Jiangsu Province.
Journal ArticleDOI
Transfer of particulate organic carbon and nitrogen from the Yangtze River to the ocean
TL;DR: The Yangtze River transports 12 million tons of particulate organic carbon (POC) to the oceans annually, with a computed yield of 6 t km/sup -2/ of drainage basin area as discussed by the authors.
Journal ArticleDOI
Transfer of Water and Sediment from the Yangtze River to the East China Sea, June 1980
TL;DR: The Yangtze River, the fourth largest in the world in terms of sediment discharge, contributes about 500'×'106't annually to the East China Sea as discussed by the authors, a disproportionate part of the load is carried after pea...
Journal ArticleDOI
Seasonal variation of sedimentation in the Changjiang Estuary mud area
TL;DR: In this article, seasonal distributions of suspended matter and their sedimentary effect on the Changjiang Estuary mud area of the East China Sea were discussed, based on three cruise data of total suspended matter, temperature and salinity collected from Changjiang and its adjacent area in summer and winter.
