Impact of Reduced Fluvial Sediment Supply on Saltwater Intrusion in the Yangtze Estuary

Impact of Reduced Fluvial Sediment Supply on Saltwater Intrusion in the Yangtze Estuary

Abstract A decline of the fluvial sediment supply leads to coastal erosion and land loss. However, the fluvial sediment load may influence not only coastal morphodynamics but also estuarine hydrodynamics and associated saltwater intrusion. Previous studies revealed that suspended sediments influence...
