The tide-dominated Han River Delta, Korea : geomorphology, sedimentology, and stratigraphic architecture /

The Tide-Dominated Han River Delta provides a thorough analysis of a river delta in which tidal currents have reworked the river-borne sediment, generating characteristic geomorphological and sedimentological signatures in the process. Such "tide-dominated" deltas are common in the modern...
