It is possible to have a robust sediment model, which reproduces 90% of the yearly data derived sediment budget, with simple model settings, such as applying one mud fraction and a simple bottom sediment distribution. This finding opens opportunities for modeling less monitored estuaries.\u003cbr\u003eComparing the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta and the Alviso Slough, a classification for estuaries regarding the main sediment dynamic forcing is proposed: event-driven estuary (Delta) and tide-driven estuary (Alviso Slough). In the event-driven estuaries, the rivers are the main sediment source and the tides have minor impact in the net sediment transport. In the tide-driven estuaries, the main sediment source is the bottom sediment and the tide asymmetry defines the net sediment transport.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"CRC Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48731226538219,"sku":"00000_00000_00000_00000","price":457.78,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0758\/4484\/5803\/files\/9781138373457-1.jpg?v=1781657964","url":"https:\/\/kinokuniya.com.sg\/products\/9781138373457","provider":"Books Kinokuniya Singapore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
