A predominant sigmoidal clinoform deposit extends from the Yangtze River mouth southwards 800 km along the Chinese coast. This clinoform is thickest ( 40m) between the 20 and 30m isobaths and progressively thins offshore, reaching water depths of 60 and 90m and distances up to 100 km offshore. Clay mineral, heavy metal, geochemical and grain-size analyses indicate that the Yangtze River is the ...

Land uses have long modified aeolian sedimentary dynamics as has occurred in the Jandía isthmus (Fuerteventura, Canary Islands, Spain), where changes vegetation cover, reduction of sediment available for transport and building barriers to induced beach erosion. In last 62 years area experienced a 800,000 m2. The aim this paper is analyse current situation (in terms availability, longshore drift...
