Seasonality of wave, tide, and river-driven sediment fluxes and its impact on delta morphology
Jaap Nienhuis, Utrecht University Utrecht , Netherlands. j.h.nienhuis@uu.nl
For many deltas, their morphology reflects the 100-1000 year balance of wave, tidal, and river-driven sediment fluxes. Human-induced changes to these fluxes can also act on 100-1000 years and therefore influence delta morphology.
Wave, tidal, and river fluxes also change on much shorter (day-to seasonal) timescales. These fluctuations do not work their way into delta morphology immediately, but many studies have indicated substantial relevance, nevertheless.
