摘要

Abstract

With the combination of historical data

field observations and satellite remotely sensed images (Landsat TM/ETM+ and CBERS)

changes in Huanghe (Yellow) River estuary since 1996 when artificial Chahe distributary was built up were studied

mainly including water and sediment discharge from the river

tides

tidal currents

suspended sediment diffusion

coastline changes and seabed development. During following six and half years (up to the end of 2002)

runoff and sediment loads into the river mouth declined dramatically. At the beginning of the re-routing

abundant sediment loads from the river filled up nearshore shallow water areas so that the newborn delta prograded quickly. With rapid decrease of sediment loads transported to the estuary

the delta retrograded. In 1997

subaerial tip of the abandoned delta receded 1.5km; its annual mean recession rate was about 150 m in following years. In addition

marine dynamic condition near the artificial outlet had also changed. Under the interaction of ocean and river flow

most of incoming sediment loads deposited in the vicinity of the outlet. Seabed erosion occurred at the subaqueous delta front. Between 1999 and 2002

erosion thickness averaged at 0.3 m in the subaqueous delta of 585.5 km2.
