Sedimentary Processes Building a Tropical Delta Yesterday, Today, and Tomorrow: The Mekong System

Most terrestrial freshwater, dissolved substances, and suspended sediment supplied to the ocean pass through delta distributary channels. Transitions are complex as this river discharge moves through the serial environments of delta systems: tidal river, estuary, shoreline, continental shelf.
