P.I.: Milliman Proposal Number: 98-10758 Institution: Virginia Inst. of Marine Sci.This project will document the flux and fate of fluvial sediments to (and within) the marine environment. Rivers draining northern New Guinea discharge onto a very narrow shelf (hence most sediment escapes to the deep sea) whereas southern rivers discharge onto a broader shelf (only some of the sediment presumably escapes); this comparative with will be conducted from an Australian oceanographic ship. The effect episodic changes of fluvial sediment supply to the coastal zone will be studied in the vicinity of the Yellow River, in a cooperative research project with scientists at Ocean University and Academia Sinica, both located in Qingdao, China. A final aspect of the study will be the synthesis of existing data, with particular emphasis on environmental factors and events that influence fluvial discharge to the ocean.

P.I.：Milliman提案编号：98-10758机构：弗吉尼亚海洋科学研究所。该项目将记录河流沉积物流入海洋环境（和海洋环境内）的通量和命运。新几内亚北方的河流流向一个非常狭窄的大陆架（因此大部分沉积物逃逸到深海），而南部的河流流向一个更广阔的大陆架（只有一部分沉积物可能逃逸）;这一比较将在澳大利亚的海洋学船上进行。在与位于中国青岛的海洋大学和中央研究院的科学家的合作研究项目中，将在黄河附近研究河流沉积物供应对海岸带的影响阶段性变化。 这项研究的最后一个方面将是综合现有数据，特别强调影响河流向海洋排放的环境因素和事件。
