Estuaries have been sites of intensive human activities during the past century. Tracing the evolution of subaqueous topography in estuaries on a decadal timescale enables us to understand the effects of human activities on estuaries. Bathymetric data from 1955 to 2010 show that land reclamation decreased the subaqueous area of Lingding Bay, in the Pearl River estuary, by ~170 km2 and decreased...

This paper addresses the development of a new method for synoptic monitoring of turbidity represented by Total Suspended Solids (TSS). The method aims at optimising information from operational dredging data, earth observation data, modelling of currents and sediment transport and in-situ data by means of new data-model integration (DMI) techniques. As a test case, Penny’s Bay in the Hong Kong ...

The multiscale rock physics of unconventional reservoirs have drawn increasing attention in recent years, which involves several essential issues, including measuring method, transport property, model, characteristic scale, and their application. These issues vastly affect science engineering regarding the exploration development reservoirs. To encourage communication on advances research reser...

Resuspension of sediments during dredging and dredged material disposal operations continues to be a primary concern of regulatory agencies charged with the protection of environmental resources. Consequently, almost all dredging projects incorporate some level of monitoring effort dedicated to measurement of sediment resuspension. In the majority of cases, turbidity is measured with optical se...
