DOI: 10.1007/s00343-020-9333-0
Abstract: Continental shelf islands are contributors of terrestrial sediment supply to shelf regions, and the sediment flux from these islands shall be quantified. We calculated the sediment flux of continental shelf islands in the southeastern China… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s12665-019-8063-0
Abstract: The net sediment flux in Poyang Lake, the largest freshwater lake in China, converted from positive to negative after 2000. Whether the effect of the Three Gorges Dam (TGD) or sand mining caused this change… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.catena.2017.09.019
Abstract: Abstract The process of tree uprooting plays an important role in sediment transport within forested slopes. In this study we determine the intensity of sediment transport by uprooting and its dependencies. We use the Principal… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.catena.2020.104836
Abstract: Abstract Despite many studies describing wind speed and sediment flux profiles in various situations, wind tunnel observations in the presence of live vegetation are infrequent and rarely combined with field measurements. To investigate the structure… read more here.

DOI: 10.1029/2020jf005554
Abstract: A large portion of freshwater and sediment is exported to the ocean by a small number 22 of major rivers. Many of these mega-rivers are subject to substantial anthropogenic pres23 sures, which are having a… read more here.

DOI: 10.1029/2022gl101919
Abstract: Near the threshold of grain motion, sediment transport is “on‐off” intermittent, characterized by large but rare bursts separated by long periods of low transport. Without models that can account for the effects of intermittency, measurements… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/bre.12400
Abstract: [Abstract The South China Sea continental margin in the Qiongdongnan Basin (QDNB) area has incrementally prograded since 10.5 Ma generating a margin sediment prism more than 4km‐thick and 150–200 km wide above the well‐dated T40… read more here.

DOI: 10.1130/g38688.1
Abstract: Submarine mass failures triggered by energetic forcing events such as hurricanes and earthquakes are relatively well studied due to the potential for infrastructure damage and tsunami generation; such failures are common on heavily sedimented margins… read more here.
