Effects of Human Activities on the Yangtze River Suspended Sediment Flux into the Estuary in the Last Century
The surface erosion area in the Yangtze River basin increased from 364×10 3 km 2 in the 1950s to 707×10 3 km 2 in 2001 due to a great increase in population. Based on the regression relationship between surface erosion area and population, the surface erosion area was predicted to be about 280×10 3 km 2 at the beginning of the 20 th century. The sediment yield, which increased by about 30% duri...
متن کاملSuspended particulate matter transport of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in the lower Columbia River and its estuary
Analysis of suspended particulate material (SPM) collected from the Columbia River and its estuary in 2007– 2008 revealed the ubiquitous presence of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) from several distinct sources. The two dominant ones were: (1) a suite of non-alkylated, three to five-ringed compounds derived from high temperature combustion and (2) perylene, a compound of diagenetic orig...
متن کاملEstimation of suspended sediment concentrations using Terra MODIS: an example from the Lower Yangtze River, China.
Traditional measurements of suspended sediment concentrations (SSC) through in-situ sampling in rivers are expensive and time-consuming to perform. Thus, these methods cannot provide continuous SSC records. Although remote sensing has been used for SSC estimation, little research has been undertaken on inland rivers, especially for highly turbid rivers like the Yangtze. Previous studies have pr...
متن کاملSediment transport and dispersion in a cool-temperate estuary and embayment, Saco River estuary, Maine, USA
Article history: Received 11 June 2007 Received in revised form 12 February 2008 Accepted 20 February 2008 The Saco River flows through a rock bound, mid-latitude estuary recognized as the primary source of sand to the Saco Bay barrier beach system. To better constrain the conditions under which the Saco River contributes sand to Saco Bay, three moorings equipped with current meters and a CTD w...
متن کاملA New Hydrological Method for Estimating the River Bed and Drainage Basin Components of Erosion and Suspended Sediment Fluxes in River Basins
This paper uses the results of river suspended sediment flux (SSF) analysis to propose a new hydrological method for quantitatively estimating the river bed and drainage basin (sheet erosion, rill and gully erosion) components of total erosion intensity in river basins. The suggested method is based on the establishment of the functional power connection between mean monthly water discharges (W...
