Abstract: Abstract Estuarine morphodynamic processes caused by the combined effects of global and coastal environmental processes and human activities significantly influence the sustainable development of estuaries. Based on the bathymetric and boundary data extracted from multi-year digital charts for the Lingdingyang estuary (LE), South China, and in situ observations of the main hydrological stations, the spatiotemporal variations of depocentres in the LE and possible contributing factors are analysed. The results indicate that the spatial evolution ...
