Abstract
ABSTRACT Zhang, X. D.; Zhang, Y. X.; Ji, Y.; Zhang, Y. W., and Yang, Z. S., 2016. Shoreline change of the northern Yellow River (Huanghe) Delta after the latest deltaic course shift in 1976 and its influence factors. 222 high-quality Landsat satellite images were used in this study to extract the instantaneous shoreline positions on 22 sections of the northern Yellow River delta. Based on the instantaneous water line position data, a new statistical method for studying annual shoreline change was proposed. The annual shoreline movement of the northern Yellow River delta after the latest deltaic course shift in 1976 was obtained. The results showed that the shoreline on northern Yellow River delta was mostly undergoing a retreat back process since 1976 due to the river course shift, relative sea level change, regional marine hydrodynamic forces and the local engineering constructions. The influence of the Yellow River deltaic course shift in 1976 on the shoreline change mainly occurred in the first 20 year...
