Abstract: Net deposition in estuaries is often linked to the estuarine turbidity maximum zones, in which fine, cohesive sediments accumulate due to residual transport by the estuarine circulation and tidal asymmetries. Sediments deposit in fairways or… read more here.

Abstract: The vertical distribution of suspended sediment concentration (SSC) plays a key role in the residual suspended sediment transport in the estuarine environments. A field measurement was carried out in the turbidity maximum zone (TMZ) of… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.ecss.2018.09.004
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.
