Marsh-induced backwater: the influence of non-fluvial sedimentation on a delta's channel morphology and kinematics

<p>We investigate the interaction of fluvial and non-fluvial sedimentation on the channel morphology and kinematics of an experimental river delta. We compare two deltas: one that evolved with a proxy for non-fluvial (“marsh”) sedimentation (treatment experiment) and one that evolved without t...
