Abstract: Abstract We investigate tidal propagation and suspended-sediment dynamics in the Caete river estuary, Southeastern Amazonian Coastal Zone, addressing gaps in knowledge about sources and mechanisms of sediment entrapment in well mixed, tropical estuaries. Bathymetric and… read more here.

Abstract: Abstract Sediment-rich tide-dominated estuary is generally considered nonexistent or ephemeral under the stable sea-level condition, given the rapid transition to a deltaic system after massive sediments dumping at the river mouth. The well-preserved transgressive sequence… read more here.
