Optimal Thickness of Soil Cover for Reclaiming Subsided Land with Yellow River Sediments

Understanding Land Use and Land Cover Dynamics from 1976 to 2014 in Yellow River Delta

Long-term intensive land use/cover changes (LUCCs) of the Yellow River Delta (YRD) have been happening since the 1960s. The land use patterns of the LUCCs are crucial for bio-diversity conservation and/or sustainable development. This study quantified patterns of the LUCCs, explored the systematic transitions, and identified wetland change trajectory for the period 1976–2014 in the YRD. Landsat...

Land cover change in natural reserve of the Yellow River Delta, China, 1999-2008

technical and legal parameters for determination of river boundary,( case study haraz river)

چکیده با توسعه شهر نشینی و دخل و تصرف غیر مجاز در حریم رودخانه ها خسارات زیادی به رودخانه و محیط زیست اطراف آن وارده می شود. در حال حاضر بر اساس آئین نامه اصلاح شده بستر و حریم رودخانه ها، حریم کمی رودخانه که بلافاصله پس از بستر قرار می گیرد از 1 تا20 متر از منتهی الیه طرفین بستر رودخانه تعیین، که مقدار دقیق آن در هر بازه از رودخانه مشخص نیست. در کشورهای دیگر روشهای متفاوتی من جمله: درصد ریسک...

Distribution of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in sediments from Yellow River Estuary and Yangtze River Estuary, China.

Surface sediment samples collected from twenty-one sites of Yellow River Estuary and Yangtze River Estuary were determined for sixteen priority polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) by isotope dilution GC-MS method. The total PAH contents varied from 10.8 to 252 ng/g in Yellow River Estuary sediment, and from 84.6 to 620 ng/g in Yangtze River Estuary sediment. The mean total PAH content of Ya...

Land Subsidence over Oilfields in the Yellow River Delta

Subsidence in river deltas is a complex process that has both natural and human causes. Increasing human activities like aquaculture and petroleum extraction are affecting the Yellow River delta, and one consequence is subsidence. The purpose of this study is to measure the surface displacements in the Yellow River delta region and to investigate the corresponding subsidence source. In this pap...
