The 138 pages that link to Sediment transport, each with the reason it gives.

• Irrawaddy RiverRelated: Dams and land-use change can affect the sediment supply that sustains the Irrawaddy Delta.

• Wadden SeaRelated: Sediment movement creates and erodes the flats, shoals, and islands.

• Braided riverRelated: Moving sediment builds bars that divert flow into new channels.

• Mississippi River BasinRelated: Rivers carry eroded material through the basin toward the delta.

• Run-of-the-river hydroelectricityRelated: Intakes and barriers can alter sediment movement even when a project has little storage.

• Flood pulseRelated: Flood pulses carry sediment onto floodplains, replenishing soils and reshaping channels.

• Fluvial erosionRelated: Eroded material becomes mobile sediment that can abrade the channel downstream.

• Hydroelectric damRelated: Reservoirs trap sediment, changing downstream habitats and river channels.

• River transportRelated: Dredging and navigation structures can change how river sediment moves.

• Sedimentary faciesRelated: Transport sorts grains and shapes the deposits used to recognize facies.

• Three Gorges ReservoirRelated: The reservoir traps much of the Yangtze’s sediment, changing downstream delivery and deposition.

• Yangtze River basinRelated: Tributaries carry eroded material downstream, affecting channels, reservoirs, and the delta.

• Yellow River course changesRelated: Sediment deposition raised the channel and helped make course changes more likely.

• Bay of FundyRelated: Fundy currents move large sediment loads, complicating both habitat forecasts and infrastructure design.

• BedformRelated: Transport supplies the grains that build bedforms and carries them across the bed.

• Littoral zoneRelated: Waves and currents redistribute material across nearshore bottoms.

• Paleocurrent analysisRelated: Transport mechanics create the grain alignments and bedforms used as directional evidence.

• SandRelated: Transport sorts and reshapes sand grains as they travel.

• BreakwaterRelated: Breakwaters alter currents and waves, changing where sediment accumulates or erodes.

• Kainji DamRelated: The reservoir traps sediment that would otherwise continue downstream.

• Oxbow lakeRelated: River-borne sediment builds inner banks and fills abandoned channels.

• Sedimentary structuresRelated: Transport processes shape structures before and during deposition.

• Water diversionRelated: Diversions can alter sediment delivery to downstream channels, floodplains, and deltas.

• DistributaryRelated: Distributaries carry sediment into delta plains and coastal waters.

• Lake ConstanceRelated: The Rhine carries Alpine sediment into the lake, where it settles or reshapes shorelines.

• Liaodong BayRelated: River discharge and coastal currents redistribute sediment across the bay.

• StreamflowRelated: Streamflow supplies the force that carries sediment through channels.

• Alluvial riverRelated: The river's ability to carry sediment helps determine where it erodes and deposits.

• Atchafalaya RiverRelated: The Atchafalaya transports Mississippi sediment through its basin toward the Gulf.

• Red RiverRelated: The river carries eroded material downstream and deposits it across its delta.

• Ripple marksRelated: Transport supplies the grains that ripple-forming flows erode, move, and deposit.

• River ecosystemRelated: Moving sediment builds bars and floodplains while shaping channel habitats.

• SiltstoneRelated: Transporting currents can carry silt before depositing it as siltstone.

• Venetian LagoonRelated: Tidal currents and rivers redistribute sediment, affecting channels, mudflats, and marshes.

• Ariake SeaRelated: Tides and rivers redistribute fine sediment across the shallow basin.

• Madeira RiverRelated: The Madeira carries Andean sediment downstream, while dams can alter its movement.

• Padma RiverRelated: The Padma carries Himalayan sediment that builds and reshapes its banks and delta.

• Redwood National and State ParksRelated: Stream restoration aims to reduce erosion and restore more natural sediment movement.

• AggradationRelated: Aggradation begins when transport delivers more sediment than a flow can carry onward.

• Chongming IslandRelated: Yangtze currents carry the material from which Chongming’s landforms grow.

• Red River of the SouthRelated: Sediment carried by the river contributes to its shifting channels and muddy appearance.

• River morphologyRelated: Transport rates determine where river channels erode, carry, or deposit material.

• Tidal islandRelated: It builds, shifts, or removes the ground that links a tidal island to shore.

• Volga DeltaRelated: Deposited river sediment builds islands and shallow channels.

• YichangRelated: Dams near Yichang change how Yangtze sediment moves downstream.

• Adam's BridgeRelated: Transport and deposition help reshape shoals over time.

• Earth (soil and ground)Related: Transport redistributes the loose material that covers and reshapes the ground.

• Fly RiverRelated: The Fly carries sediment from the mountains toward its delta and coastal waters.

• German BightRelated: Tides and waves shift sand and mud across the Bight’s shoals and estuaries.

• Sundarbans National ParkRelated: River and tidal currents deposit and remove sediment, altering islands and channels.
