For scientists who want to learn about the geological history of a planet, river deltas are a great place to start. Deltas ...

The break, known as Neptune Pass, has grown so large it is comparable to the 10th-largest river in North America and the ...

In 2021, while revelers across America celebrated the fourth of July, three researchers waded through a shallow river delta ...

Despite its Earth-like rivers and lakes of liquid methane, Saturn’s moon Titan seems oddly lacking in river deltas — geological formations that are typically rich in historical clues. Using data from ...

Over the course of several thousand years, the river belched its sediment load before darting off on another course. New delta lobes formed over time, often on top of old, sinking deltas.

A flow of sediment from a decades-old river diversion has accidentally given birth to new wetlands. While that small delta is dwarfed by what’s washing away all around it, researchers have ...

That indicates a large portion of the new delta is being constructed with sediment from the river. The work was done using a combination of sediment sampling, drone surveys and satellite images ...
