Valley-Confinement and River-Tidal Controls on Channel Morphology Along the Fluvial to Marine Transition Zone of the Ðồng Nai River System, Vietnam

Along the fluvial to marine transition zone (FMTZ) of river deltas, the river-tidal dynamics exert a primary control on channel width, sinuosity, and bed elevation; however, other local factors, such as valley confinements, bifurcations, and confluences, can modify the channel morphology. Here, we r...
