DOI: 10.1029/2019gl084444
Abstract: Estuaries are often characterized by the presence of secondary basins (side embayments), which affect the estuarine hydrodynamics and sediment dynamics. Many of these basins have disappeared due to land reclamations, which might influence the estuarine… read more here.
