Abstract The sediment load in the Yangtze River downstream of Three Gorges Dam (TGD) has substantially declined recent decades. decrease is more profound below TGD, e.g., a 97% at Yichang, compared with that delta apex, 1200 km downstream, 75% decrease, implying along-river recovery. Two large river-connected lakes, i.e., Dongting and Poyang Lakes, may play role re-establishment river’s morphod...

In this paper, we describe the stratigraphy ...
