A clearer picture of how rivers and deltas develop
By adding information about the subsoil to an existing sedimentation and erosion model, researchers at TU Delft have obtained a clearer picture of how rivers and deltas develop over time. A better understanding of the interaction between the subsoil and flow processes in a river-delta system can play a key role in civil engineering (delta management), but also in geology (especially in the work of reservoir geologists). Nathanaël Geleynse et al. recently published on their work in this area in the journal Geophysical Research Letters. A related article will soon appear in Earth and Planetary Science Letters.
