First‐Order River Delta Morphology Is Explained by the Sediment Flux Balance From Rivers, Waves, and Tides
We present a novel quantitative test of a 50-year-old hypothesis which asserts that river delta morphology is determined by the balance between river and marine influence. We define three metrics to capture the first-order morphology of deltas (shoreline roughness, number of distributary channel mou...
