- W2213966957 abstract "The Fraser River Delta is a Holocene, river-dominated feature, built into the deep (> 300 m) waters of the Strait of Georgia on Canada's Pacific coast The delta provides much of the coastal terrain on which the port city of Vancouver and associated municipalities have developed. Consequently, the delta has been modified to provide ferry, coal, container and grain terminals, a navigable channel, and sewage disposal (for 1.7 million people). Prior to the confinement of the Fraser River to its present channels, during the early part of this century, the river changed its course regularly. The annual river load (approximately 17.3 x 10{6} tonnes) is 65% silt and clay, and 35% sand, transported primarily during the spring and summer freshet. Today, most of the sand is removed from the system by dredging and the mud is transported in a plume past the intertidal estuary and northwards into the basin by the dominant flood tidal flow (tide range of 3 to 5 m). The remainder of the sand is deposited as a tractive load from the main channel into active submarine channel systems asymmetrically about the river mouth. The asymmetry is a result of jetty construction. Two causeways to the south of the main channel and one to the north that cross the intertidal zone to the delta foreslope also act as barriers to the dominant northward sediment transport causing estuarine and localized seabed erosion." @default.
