World-Wide Delivery of River Sediment to the Oceans
John D. Milliman,Robert H. Meade +1 more
TL;DR: The authors showed that rivers with large sediment loads (annual discharges greater than about $15 \times 10^{6}$ tons) contribute about $7 −times 10 −9$ tons of suspended sediment to the ocean yearly.
Journal ArticleDOI
Geomorphic/Tectonic Control of Sediment Discharge to the Ocean: The Importance of Small Mountainous Rivers
TL;DR: In this paper, data from 280 rivers discharging to the ocean indicates that sediment loads/yields are a log-linear function of basin area and maximum elevation of the river basin.
Book
River Discharge to the Coastal Ocean: A Global Synthesis
TL;DR: The Global River Database as mentioned in this paper is a collection of river data from North and Central America, South America, Europe, Africa, Asia, and Oceania with a focus on flooding and erosion.
Journal ArticleDOI
Changes in Continental Freshwater Discharge from 1948 to 2004
TL;DR: In this paper, a new dataset of historical monthly streamflow at the farthest downstream stations for the world's 925 largest ocean-reaching rivers has been created for community use.
Journal ArticleDOI
Flux and fate of Yangtze River sediment delivered to the East China Sea
TL;DR: In this paper, high-resolution seismic profiling and coring in the southern East China Sea during 2003 and 2004 cruises has revealed an elongated (similar to 800 km) distal subaqueous mud wedge extending from the Yangtze River mouth southward off the Zhejiang and Fujian coasts into the Taiwan Strait.
