The Yellow Riverdelta is a fluvial action dominating, highly constructive sedimentary system. The evolution pattern of the delta is closely related to the hydrologic features and the suspended sediment load of the Yellow River as well as the river
mouth depositional forms and the diversion mode of the river's lower courses.
The shape and behaviour of the barchan dunes on the Kuiseb Riverdelta, south of the town of Walvis Bay, and the temporal and spatial variability of those characteristics are the focus of this study. - (AJC)

In this study, an effort has been made to elucidate the effect of changing human activities and precipitation on land accretion of the Yellow Riverdelta, to provide a stronger basis for environmental management in the Yellow River drainage basin
rise is mainly a result of land subsidence. The major direct impacts of relative sea-level rise on the Yellow RiverDelta are submergence and salinity increase.
This paper focuses on the coastal plain, including three younger deltas, i.e. the delta near Tiajin, the modern delta, and the abandoned delta. In the first two deltas, land subsidence, both natural and man-induced, is serious, and local sea-level
The paper focuses attention on the new cooperation in industrial development between Hong Kong and the Pearl RiverDelta. Both secondary and first-hand delta have been used to portrait the extent, nature and spatial configuration of the relationship
The AA. present a radiocarbon-dated pollen and sediment stratigraphy from a 52-m core collected from the Yangtze Riverdelta. The data are interpreted in the context of climatic and vegetational changes, delta development, and sea-level history
of the Yangtze Riverdelta region during the last 12,000 yr.

This paper discusses the remarkable effect of flood discharge, unusual drought and strong storm surge on the evolution of the Yellow Riverdelta and shows that in the study of deltas, greater attention should be paid to the rare events.
Etude générale sur les deltas articulée autour des thèmes suivants : origine, caractéristique et types de deltas, aménagement des cours fluviaux et de deltas, exploitation des ressources deltaïques (sans ou avec modification du milieu hydro

In this study SEBAL, an evapotranspiration (ET) computation model using remote sensing method is applied in the Yellow RiverDelta where water resource faces a rigorous situation. Three Landsat TM images and meteorology data of 1999 were used for ET
computation, and spatial and temporal change patterns of ET in the Yellow RiverDelta were analysed.
In 1915, the Luanhe River changed course to its present position, and has since developed a typical fan-shaped delta under fluvial-wave interaction. Owing to the water conservancy projects constructed in the catchment, the sand load that the Luanhe
River takes into the sea has decreased sharply since 1980. Hence, the evolution of the Luanhe RiverDelta can be divided into two phases : the delta constructing phase between 1915 and 1979, and the para-abandoned phase after 1979. In the different
phases, the delta characteristics are not alike, the delta has a different geometric pattern.

A dense concentration of barchan sand dunes in the Kuiseb Riverdelta were examined to ascertain the rate of migration, through the study of aerial photographs taken in 1961 and 1976 and fieldwork in 1988. Wide variations in migration rates were

deltas are eroding, whereas the present delta being formed in Bohai Bay is growing rapidly. Human activity, including extensive agriculture, heavy water consumption, the use of river-control structures, and war, has been responsible for many
of the changes occurring in the Yellow River and its delta.
The Yellow River is unique among the major rivers of the world because of its extremely heavy sediment load in relation to its small discharge. The Yellow River has changed courses numerous times during the past 5000 to 6000 years. The abandoned
