TL;DR: In this paper, high-resolution seismic profiling and coring in the southern East China Sea during 2003 and 2004 cruises has revealed an elongated (similar to 800 km) distal subaqueous mud wedge extending from the Yangtze River mouth southward off the Zhejiang and Fujian coasts into the Taiwan Strait.

TL;DR: The sediment load delivered from the Huanghe (Yellow River) to the sea has decreased sharply to 0.15×10 9 metric tons per year (0.15 Gt/yr) between 2000 and 2005, and now represents only 14% of the widely cited estimate of 1.08 Gt per year as discussed by the authors.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors show that the sediment budget and sediment erosion data for the Changjiang subaqueous delta will be eroded extensively during the first five decades after the Three Gorges Dam (TGD) operation and then will approach a balance during the next five decades as sediment discharging from TGD again increases.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the connection between decreasing water discharges, global El Nino/Southern Oscillation (ENSO) events and anthropogenic impacts in the drainage basin of the Huanghe River in China.

TL;DR: A predominant sigmoidal clinoform deposit extends from the Yangtze River mouth southwards 800 kin along the Chinese coast, reaching water depths of 60 and 90 m and distances up to 100 km offshore as mentioned in this paper.
