Location and background of the Yangtze River Delta (a) and the sediment sampling and hydrodynamic observation sites (b). Main reservoirs with dam height >50 m in the Yangtze basin are shown in Fig. 1a. In Fig. 1b, the area in grey represents the subaqueous delta, and the area in white represents the Pleistocene relic sand.
