Three-decadal erosion and deposition of channel bed in the Lower Atchafalaya River, the largest distributary of the Mississippi River

Ming Tang et al.

Summary: The study investigates sediment dynamics near the mouth of the Atchafalaya River, showing that despite reduced sediment delivery, the backwater zone of lowland alluvial rivers may still experience aggradation. Data analysis revealed both erosion and deposition in the study area, with substantial aggradation found in the final 35 km of the natural mainstem. The findings suggest that channel erosion in the upstream reach may continue while sea level rise could accelerate channel deposition downstream.
